Advances in the field of nanotechnology have managed to completely transform our portable electronic gadgets from what they used to be. The most fascinating part is, the new and improved technologies, are not only better, but also cooler. After all,...
We can find aliens by detecting polluted atmospheres. Or something along these lines is what a team of astrophysicists from Harvard-Smithsonian Center imply in a recently published report. They claim that with new instruments they can find traces of pollution in the atmosphere...
If cost is a measure of how willing people are to get into alternative fuel vehicles, such as fuel cell vehicles, won’t expensive hydrogen fuel effectively cancel out any environmental benefits?
We’ve already discussed how much it costs to power...
Generating electricity from food waste and leftovers- not a new concept at all. But using the electricity generated from expired produce to fully power an entire supermarket, now this is a revelation.
The first ever supermarket to be 100% powered...
While solar panels generate clean electricity, many of the maintenance practices are often not so clean, especially when it comes to cooling. A team from Stanford, however, claims to have found the recipe for making a new coating that...
Just because solar and wind power are making an incredible progress, it does not mean that the other renewable energy sources should be neglected and researchers should stop looking for alternative means for energy generation. This is why, researchers from...
Here on The Green Optimistic, we love practically anything that reduces our footprint in the environment, such as hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, but there is plenty of misinformation out there that make people think they’re a bad deal.
Maybe you...
We’ve talked before about hacking the computer controls in modern cars, such as the Toyota Prius and Tesla Model S, but this is the first time we’ve seen a prize for doing it.
Like most modern vehicles, the Tesla Model...
If you would really like to do something about lowering emissions and your carbon footprint, but you cannot yet bring yourself to switch to renewables, then go vegetarian. And if going 'cold turkey' is too difficult for you, you can...
As the battery pack has become the crux of practically every electric vehicle venture, companies are turning to mass-production as a way to reduce costs.
Following the economies of scale, even Tesla Motors is planning its own lithium-ion electric vehicle...
