The world’s strongest material- graphene, never fails to impress, with its numerous applications in various fields and industries. We decided to show you some of its greatest uses, hoping that at least one of them, if not all, will...
Researchers at Rice University in Houston, Texas have proven a definite correlation between cardiac arrests occurring outside the hospital and air pollution and ozone levels.
At the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) conference in Boston, Rice statisticians...
Small energy startup company Ambri plans to transform the energy sector with their liquid metal battery. By stringing together a number of large battery cells shaped like large round cake pans, Ambri plans to create enormous batteries, some as large...
Military jets will continue to use lithium ion batteries, according to the Pentagon. Their batteries have other manufacturers than Boeing's, says official.
If there is anything that separates military equipment from civilian equipment, aside from it being more advanced, is...
Just like it's been reported in Europe, automakers inflate fuel economy numbers by a large margin. EPA will try to stop that from happening in the future.
Some people, like myself, shop for a brand they're most familiar with and...
The recent media squall stirred up by The New York Times' review of the Tesla Model S has focused mainly on battery range and recharging times. These are nearly the most important capabilities that determine whether an electric vehicle...
Freshwater ecosystems will emit much higher amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere if the main predators are removed from the food chain, a study published today in Nature Geoscience reveals.
Trisha Atwood, the lead author of the study and a PhD candidate at the...
Older people have higher carbon dioxide emissions, says a Max Planck institute study. This means that even environmentally-conscious baby-boomers have higher emissions than younger generations.
A striking study conducted back in 2011 by Emilio Zagheni , a demographer working at...
CNN Money's Peter Valdez-Dapena does a Tesla Model S review by taking the car on the same road trip as John Broder, proving his accusations about poor battery performance are WRONG.
Here at The Green Optimistic, we like the Tesla...
An efficient iron-based fuel cell catalyst has been discovered by PNNL scientists. It uses a hydrogenase molecule to split hydrogen and create electricity.
For years, scientists have been playing around with various alternatives to platinum, an expensive catalyst used in...
