💧⚡ New Cover: Bubble Dynamics in Electrolysis 🫧 We created this @PRX_Energy cover for a new study by Alexander Babich, Kerstin Eckert, and collaborators from @tudresden_de, @utwenteEN, @TUBerlin and @HZDR_Dresden. Using electrochemical and optical techniques, researchers compare #hydrogen and #oxygen bubble growth during water #electrolysis. They revealed that oxygen bubbles cause stronger fluid motion (Marangoni convection) and more local heating, impacting efficiency. These insights could lead to better #electrolyzer designs by improving bubble removal and electrode performance!⚡ Read more here: journals.aps.org/prxenergy/abst… #sciart #science #scientific_illustration #chemistry #ellamaru #sciencegirl #sci_artist #sci_design #cover #scientific_cover #phd #phdlife

Our cover for @PRX_Energy! 🌬️ Exploring Wind Power in Corridor Terrains 🌬️ The article by Yan Wang, ye li and colleagues from @iLZU1909, @SUSTechSZ dives deep into the physics of wind energy in long #corridor_terrains, like the Hexi Corridor in Gansu, China. These landscapes hold immense potential for #wind_energy but come with unique challenges due to turbulence effects. This work opens new possibilities for improving wind-turbine performance in these regions, addressing issues like large-scale motion and turbulence that impact power output. ✨ The flowing orange and blue streams on the image represent the turbulence and energy fluctuations discussed in the study!
