Brothers Build Abu Dhabi’s First Viable Recycling Service
Apparently, the United Arab Emirates have a problem with recycling: even if you, as a simple citizen, were to have this initiative, it would almost seem an adventure. The only way to do it is by driving to remote collection points, which discourages the general population and lowers the recycling level below 10%. Conscious of [...]

You probably found this while googling, so the search giant Google is no stranger to you. Well, they may be giant and all, but as far as I know they’re the greenest Internet service provider out there. That’s why Google decided today that it’s important to let people know what chain is actually involved when [...] Read more... | NC State University researchers have recently implemented what is being used in radios for decades in wireless power transfer (WPT) receivers – the ability of the receiver to keep track of the transmitter’s frequency if the differences are really small. This could ultimately impact electric vehicle wireless power transfer systems by making them more efficient [...] Read more... |
If you are about to invest in silicon-based photovoltaics, please stop for a moment and read this. IDTechEx, a market research company, has published a report saying that the organic (not silicon) photovoltaic market is about to hit a value of $630 million in ten years. The growth will be stupendous: 1300% from today’s $4.6 [...] Read more... | Yi Cui, a Stanford scientist and founder of Amprius, is working on a high-tech lithium ion battery that could last for 6,000 charge and discharge cycles – all without degrading itself below 85 percent. This could bring an end to the headaches that many go through with aging laptop batteries or electric cars which just [...] Read more... |
Barack Obama’s January 2011 State of the Union address called for a National Clean Energy Standard (NCES) that would target having 80% of all energy sources in the US to be generated from green sources by 2035. The U.S. citizens are ready to pay the extra cost – as long as they will get green [...] Read more... | Remember when you used to say clean vehicles couldn’t take you very far? John and Helen Taylor prove you wrong: after 90 fuel economy and vehicle-related records around the world, they have decided to go for one more. What came out of that is a new record for the longest distance covered on one tank [...] Read more... |
Today’s society is heading towards being a more mobile, technology-driven one. The market has been demanding smaller and thinner portable electronics, and manufacturers were able to produce thinner gadgets for its consumers. Now, with Infinite Power Solutions’ (IPS) breakthrough, manufacturers may be able to achieve the thinnest gadgets that we could ever possibly imagine. IPS of Littleton, Colorado [...] Read more... | The USGS (United States Geological Survey) has published a post on their water-related website that shows an amazing 3D rendering of actually how much water exists on Earth and how much of that water is potable. You can see the results on the left – they shocked me. The blue sphere floating above the Earth [...] Read more... |
Tar sands – Canada’s dream of a richer life, are about to disrupt changes so dramatic in the global climate that 20 to 50 percent of the planet’s species could go extinct and civilization as we know it could reach the edge of peril. However, those tar sands filled with bituminous fuel aren’t seeing daylight [...] Read more... | The Scales Wind Farm Technology Facility (SWIFT), a state-of-the-art wind turbine research facility in the Texas Panhandle, is expected to become fully operational starting October. Stephanie Holinka, a Sandia National Laboratories’ spokesperson, said that the first phase of this project is being constructed by collaboration with Sandia’s academic and private partners. The other collaborators involved [...] Read more... |
A 10-year-old MIT spinoff, Lilliputian Systems is now ready to commercialize a portable charger that, if priced correctly, will revolutionize batteries and backup charging for mobile devices. It runs on butane and contains a revolutionary fuel cell that transforms the liquid into electricity. The device will be retailed through Brookstone and will probably hit the market [...] Read more... | A new research on the actions to be done about nuclear waste has been recently published in the science journal Nature. Their conclusions have been that the wastes should be disposed of safely and securely, so that they are unreachable by third parties who could build nuclear weapons. Worldwide, about 500 metric tons of plutonium [...] Read more... |
