The Obama Administration's recent proposal to reduce fuel use is expected to create 570,000 jobs in the U.S. by 2030. Of this figure, 50,000 new jobs will be in light-duty vehicle manufacturing and assembly alone.
The proposal calls for the...
Germany is unstoppable: it keeps growing in MW of solar power in a rhythm which no other European country can match! Just in the last 6 months alone has this state supplied its national grid with 14.7 TWh of...
Cyanobacteria are aquatic microorganisms that thrive best in warm waters. Global warming has been linked to the exponential growth of these microorganisms in natural waters that poses a serious threat to human health. These microorganisms can produce toxins harmful...
More and more people are switching to electric vehicles to lessen their carbon dioxide footprint. However, a problem with electric vehicles is battery overheating. This problem can be solved with CryoSolplus, a new coolant, developed by researchers at the...
Dealing with the dilemma of wanting to install power-generating solar panels, but these are too bulky and will leave no space for your solar heating system? Worry no more. Researchers have developed an integrated PVT using amorphous silicon that...
Electron movements in silicon transistors are limited by collisions and scattering. What if the bumps are removed and the electrons can travel freely in empty space? Such a phenomenon is possible in vacuum transistors to achieve the ultimate in...
Researchers have recently reported the development of a spray-on lithium ion battery that can be painted on various surfaces, effectively converting any object into a possible energy storage device. The implications of this technology in solar energy applications are...
This Sunday marked the day of one nuclear reactor re-opening in Japan after two months...Yes, as expected, people were not happy about it, to say the least! But they got something in return: multiple solar energy parks to make...
Take one look at the picture and what do you see? All those suspended cabins – don't they bring back memories from the ski resort you used to go to or still do? Actually they're electric vehicles and the...
