From Trial and Error to Generative Design: The New Paradigm in Energy Materials
From Trial and Error to Generative Design: The New Paradigm in Energy Materials AI and the Energy Transition Today, it is hard to deny that the 21st century is defined by a major climate crisis. Even if it is not a comfortable reality to acknowledge, many countries have committed to achieving climate neutrality by 2050. […]
The Energy Challenge: Why We Need New Materials
The Energy Challenge: Why We Need New Materials As you already know, in recent years there has been an accelerated race to find alternatives to fossil fuels. Hydrogen has emerged as an interesting option because its combustion produces large amounts of energy and water. Leaving aside the challenges of producing H₂ in a clean, cost-effective, […]
A circular future for gas storage materials: the Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) developed in MAST3RBoost
A circular future for gas storage materials: the Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) developed in MAST3RBoost The Metal-Organic Frameworks, first discovered in the 1990s, have gained a lot of attention in recent years thanks to their many innovative applications across different fields. But what exactly are these materials, and why are they so interesting? What are MOFs […]
Hydrogen storage solutions for vehicles: a key to the future of sustainable transport
Hydrogen storage solutions for vehicles: a key to the future of sustainable transport Hydrogen is the most likely candidate for the sustainable fuel of the future. Europe is heavily investing on it, with initiatives like the European Hydrogen Bank and the European Green Deal. But for hydrogen to be usable in small-scale applications, like vehicles, we need better technology. The European-funded project […]
