Grido’s Internet-Like Next Generation Power Grid
A new type of smart grid is taking its cues from the Internet by using distributed and decentralized power grid management. Three year old Gridco Systems, a startup founded by Namish Patel, the entrepreneur who founded Sycamore Networks, is using digital solid state transformers and software that ingests data in real time in order to [...]

The list of consequences from climate change seems to expand constantly, as scientists across the globe continue to establish relationships between various factors and rising temperatures. A recent study conducted by a team of scientists led by Sherry Towers, research professor in the Mathematical, Computational and Modeling Sciences Center at Arizona State University, warns that [...] Read more... | Hut-to-Hut is the result of a workshop organised by Rintala Eggertsson Architects and some students from the University of Science and Technology in Norway to design and construct a practical, eco-friendly home in India’s Western Ghats region. Built with locally-produced materials and using solar power and a composite latrine to provide its energy needs, the [...] Read more... |
When his age mates were likely just getting to grips with their roles in the world as young ones, Vanis Buckholz, at the age of 10 had already made his mark on the world with his very own recycling business. Beginning at the age of 7, when in elementary school he learned about the benefits [...] Read more... | Researchers may have found a way to reduce the negative environmental impact of electronic devices. Massimo Capone and Gianluca Giovannetti of Istituto Officina dei Materiali at CNR and of the International School for Advanced Studies of Trieste (SISSA) have created a new ferroelectric material called diisopropylammonium bromide (DIPAB) that can be used in electronic devices. DIPAB, [...] Read more... |
Researchers have discovered that an exotic form of silicon may improve solar cell efficiency. This predicted improvement using a structure of silicon called silicon BC8 was detailed in the January edition of the journal Physical Review Letters, and is based upon computer simulations by researchers at the University of California Davis and in Hungary. Scientists rejected [...] Read more... | With over 7 billion people on the planet and global resources being depleted like never before, the world’s population may be in trouble. As population growth continues to explode, food requirements are steadily rising and the number of annual droughts is increasing – which is accelerating the dependence on and demand for groundwater. In fact, [...] Read more... |
By utilizing historical records, scientists have demonstrated that climate change may have a very devastating effect on Myanmar’s already endangered elephants. In fact, elephants are far less resilient than popularly thought and even the slightest temperature change may wipe them out. University of Sheffield scientist, Hannah Mumby, the study lead, determined that Myanmar’s elephants thrive [...] Read more... | Hydrogen vehicles are more than just a dream that won’t die, but are getting closer to production than ever before. Hydrogen just could be the perfect fuel, and advances in production of hydrogen as well as hydrogen fuel cell [HFC] technology have made it possible to realize a clean transportation future. Just last week, Toyota [...] Read more... |
Fresh water is a dwindling resource in many lands, and in order to conserve what is available, many governments have put strict limits on water usage, from lawn-watering regulations to water-saving building codes. What this is really about is saving it for important things like drinking and cooking, as the average human being requires just [...] Read more... | When looking at satellite photos of the earth taken at night, it is easy to see urban areas as brights spots in a sea of black. Rural areas barely even register on these night shots. The reason for this is mainly because of street and building lighting, and light pollution on a grand scale can [...] Read more... |
A study published in Nature Climate Change last week reveals that human activity in major cities has a direct influence on temperature across thousands of miles. Activities in the metropolitan areas affect major atmospheric systems and either warm or cool areas further away. The study by scientists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of [...] Read more... | The Greek economic crisis has been a widely discussed topic and has affected quite a few economies worldwide over the past few years. But looking on the bright side of the situation, the crisis has also led to a huge reduction in air pollution over Greek cities. A study conducted by Mihalis Vrekoussis of the [...] Read more... |
