The industry-leading electric vehicle, the Tesla Model S, uses a lithium-ion battery pack, pretty much like every other electric vehicle of repute, but is that as good as it gets?
Rechargeable battery technology has indeed come a long way, but...
Up to this point, solar has made big gains in efficiency, but nothing near what is needed to effectively compete with fossil fuels. While parity is still a ways off, researchers at Stanford have found that by making materials more...
At the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) Offshore Trade Fair in Frankfurt, Germany, Siemens Energy will be discussing plans to lower the costs of offshore wind power in the coming years by upping output, reducing weight, and improving the...
While all the hype has been on the Tesla Model S, a $70,000-$120,000 pure electric performance sedan, one might get the impression that Tesla Motors has forgotten about the rest of the automobile market.
You'd be wrong, because Tesla Motors...
According to the International Energy Agency, the number of newly constructed power plants that produce renewable energy in China, will be higher than the combined number for Europe, the U.S. and Japan by 2035.
In their annual report named World...
Scientists claim that genetically modified viruses, used in the process of nanowires production, could boost the efficiency of lithium-air batteries, bringing the field one step closer to making the ultimate lightweight battery for electric vehicles.
The function of the virus...
The world is in a delicate balance, at least before human-caused climate change started to muddle things up. Take, for example, the delicate balance of wildlife in Montana, which is known for what I could call wildlife tourism.
Of course,...
New legislation has passed in Texas to provide incentives for those considering electric vehicle technology, such as that found in Chevy Volt or Nissan Leaf. Sorry Tesla Motors fans in Texas, you're out of luck!
It should be noted that...
Current supercapacitors (rechargeable energy storage) are unable to store enough energy for them to be used in small cars and replace batteries.
Fortunately, this piece of the puzzle may have finally been solved with a new material called Graphene.
Researcher Santahkumar Kannappan,...
Climate change skeptics have long been trying to find a different explanation for the climate changes than have been occurring over the last century. In an attempt to debunk the widely held belief, upheld by scientific study, they are...
