Graphene, in concept, has been around since the latter half of the 1800s, but it wasn’t until just over a decade ago that scientists were actually able to isolate atom-thick sheets of carbon, “a million times thinner than paper,...
The effects of man-made greenhouse gas emissions is worse than we thought. Not only is it melting the polar caps, there is also evidence that is messing up the jet stream, as pointed out by Jennifer Francis of Rutgers...
As discussed, one of the things that keeps electric vehicles expensive, particularly with regard to their range per charge, is the price of lithium-ion battery packs.
Chinese automaker BYD already produced a number of electric vehicles, even electric buses, and...
Demand and deployment for electric vehicles remains low, but automakers tend to agree that the technology could be the biggest shift in automotive technology since the invention of the automatic transmission.
The problem, of course, that electric vehicle batteries are...
Range anxiety is bad for EV adoption, and Elon Musk is going to end it for the Tesla Model S. This Thursday.
Every once in a while, Elon Musk stirs media curiosity by posting a Twitter update that's cleverly thought...
Italian architect Gianncarlo Zema has designed a floating, solar-powered home he called "Waternest 100."
The Waternest 100 is made of recycled timber and a recycled aluminum hull, and includes skylights, balconies and large windows.
On top of the floating house, there's...
We know that the Tesla Model S P85D is insanely fast, but just how fast is it really? The numbers speak for themselves - 0 to 60mph (100kph) in 3.4 seconds, a top speed of 250 kph (155 mph),...
Here’s an electric vehicle concept that you probably haven’t seen at the auto shows, which is unfortunate, because I think a lot of enthusiasts would love the Nimbus e-Car Concept, envisioned by Brazilian artist Eduardo Galvani.
Today, we might envision...
Capturing and sending solar power from space has just gotten real, as a the team of Japanese scientists demonstrated wireless transmission of energy from space for the first time.
It was around this time last year, when we first told you...
NASA just discovered that science classes nowadays are actually obsolete. A principle that violates any rule of physics known to man has recently been demonstrated to work in a solar powered device, by NASA themselves.
Just to get off the...
