Renewable Energy and Resources

Advances in Sustainable Technologies

Sustainable technologies have come a long way in the past few decades, driven by environmental awareness and the rising costs of fossil fuels.

NANOTECHNOLOGY:
This tiny technology has applications in clean energy, greenhouse emission management, green manufacturing and sustainable living. In India, for example, researchers are using composite nanoparticles to destroy contaminants such as bacteria and microbes in drinking water.

NEXT-GENERATION NUCLEAR POWER:
Next-generation atomic energy encompasses low-carbon ideas like advanced fission reactors, fusion-fission hybrids and pure gas fusion. Nuclear scientists still attempt to improve the inefficiencies of fission (for example, following less waste and higher atomic number 92 conversion rates) and stay hopeful regarding fusion, conducting analysis through comes such as the International Thermonuclear Reactor Experiment (ITER).
