China Is Scaling Geothermal District Heating & The World Should Pay Attention
When China starts scaling a technology at massive levels, the rest of the world should take notice. That’s not a geopolitical statement, it’s a thermodynamic and logistical one. China doesn’t mess around when it comes to heat, power, and infrastructure. And in the case of ground-source heat pumps used for … [continued]

Could Microplastics Become A Thing Of The Past With New Supramolecular Plastics?
Supramolecular chemistry, also known as “chemistry beyond the molecule,” focuses on the study of molecular recognition and high-order assemblies formed by noncovalent interactions. It’s in the news lately due to a study that focuses on solving the problem of plastic degradation into microplastics. Supramolecular plastics — polymers with structures held … [continued]

Debunking The Myth: Hydrogen’s High Energy Density By Mass Is Trumped By Low Density By Volume
Hydrogen is often cited for its high energy density by mass — approximately 120 MJ/kg — making it appear to be an ideal energy carrier. However, this figure is frequently misunderstood or presented out of context, leading to misleading conclusions about hydrogen’s suitability for real-world energy storage and transportation. The … [continued]
