In an article published in the journal Angewandte Chemie, chemists at Boston College detailed their breakthroughs in developing a way to harness artificial photosynthesis by narrowing the voltage gap between oxidation and reduction.
The team achieved the gains by coating...
Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are essentially electric vehicles, only their energy storage system varies, but it could be that storage system is which is stunting their development.
It all has to do with how these two vehicles store their energy....
An international team of researchers from the U.S., Hungary, Slovenia and India, led by Changsheng Xiang from Rice University, produced thin films of graphene nanoribbons mixed with thermoplastic polyurethane polymer, which can be used to make natural gas tanks in...
Toyota Prius may have been the first on the hybrid electric vehicle market, but it is, by no means, alone.

Solana Power, southwest of Phoenix, Arizona is ready to come online as the first solar plant in the U.S. to use molten salt for energy storage. It has taken $2 billion in funding, and a Department of Energy...
Practically every major automaker, some technology companies, and even university researchers, are working on what could change the automobile experience forever: autonomous vehicles.
Autonomous vehicles could be the solution to the ever-present problems of traffic fatalities, traffic congestion, and possibly...
A prominent study published in the journal Nature, predicts that the entire Earth will pass climate departure, or the point of no return, by 2047.
The study goes on to say that if global warming continues its current trajectory, average...
I've seen hydrogen fuel cells being tested as range-extenders and as full-blown propulsion systems, but I kind of like this setup, as an energy recovery device, improving the fuel economy of a motorcycle.
Granted, motorcycles are already some of the...
China's economic growth “at any cost” has indeed some with a cost, air pollution on a grand scale and, in her biggest cities, the premature deaths of hundreds.
The increased number of vehicles and coal-fired industry and power plants, combined...
