We've all seen child carriers for bicycles, from rear mounted trailers to rack mounted carriers. Bridgestone subsidiary Bridgeport has designed and has recently sold some 300,000 of its new e-bikes to Japanese clients, specifically mothers. Yes, I said mothers, as...
One of the main limitations of batteries is their degrading performance. Researchers base their studies on this process in their attempts to develop promising new designs. What was lacking, however, was a functional theoretical model that can describe battery...
This week, at the MIT Technology Review’s annual EmTech conference, Professor David Keith said that the only way to reduce the risk of climate change is to use geo-engineering technology.
The professor of public policy and applied physics at University...
We keep publishing stories on how to generate renewable energy, which tell us about investments worth millions.
Scientific research, energy companies as well as governmental institutions come up with great solutions at very large scales. Of course, the materializing of...
One of the disadvantages of solar energy generation is that great amount of light is reflected away by the solar cells, which reduces their efficiency. A new anti-reflection coating, however, might be the link that has been missing.
Professor E....
Nature Climate Change just published a report which contains striking statistics about energy generating technologies. Research conducted by scientists at Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of East Anglia showed that building new power stations is...
New technologies emerge every day, and it gets even more exciting when they really benefit our society. One of these inventions is the new solar energy cells that have more than 100% external quantum efficiency (EQE) for photons in...
Usually, when you watch your LCD TV, no matter what it displays, the power consumption remains the same. A new technology developed by Japan Display Inc does different: when the image shown on the screen is static, the power...
Various water treatment systems have sprung up to increase the quality of drinking water. For remote and underdeveloped areas, unfortunately, these technologies are not within reach. This situation led two chemists to a simple, yet brilliant idea to transform...
Electric Vehicles may be doomed to boutique dealers and eccentric owners, if this pattern of manufacturers' dropping EVs continues on its current track. Recently, Toyota released a few, maybe 100 total, of its new Scion iQ EV here...
