Remember what we've said about see-through solar cells on windows and how they could become the future of the industry? Well, it's actually moving in the right direction, with more good things coming our way. For example, New Energy...
A thermoelectric generator is a semiconductor device that transforms the heat difference between its two layers into electricity.
It belongs to a class of materials called "thermoelectrics" and are one of auto industry's greatest hopes in what regards the savings obtained...
MIT researcher Michael Strano, previously involved in projects like thermopower waves, carbon nanotube energy storage and others related to carbon nanotubes, discovered a new type of all-carbon solar cell made from buckyballs (aka C60). Strano's new cells are sensitive...
Here's how you can produce hydrogen to power cars, homes, or even toys. Hydrogen is the cleanest energy carrier in the universe, and is also easily obtainable from recycled soda cans and water that you can find virtually anywhere.
The...
So much of what the oceans contain is still unknown to us today and considering they make up 80% of our planet, it's a lot! That's all about to start changing once The SeaOrbiter will tower the water –...
The idea behind getting a return when buying an electric vehicle is to charge it when the energy is at its lowest. And when is that? At night, of course. So how do you pull that out when the...
Eating less meat will not only make us healthier, but will also help reduce carbon dioxide emissions below the thresholds needed to keep temperature go up by 2 degrees Celsius by 2050, University of Exter (UK) researchers say. If...
A part of the scientific community involved in plans for recovering the state of the climate change we're transitioning has been relying for a while on large scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) as the most viable way to...
Usually, to get hydrogen, the first method that you think of is the electrolysis of water. However, this is not the most efficient way to get the precious energy-carrying gas, and as hydrogen cars will slowly emerge on the...
Wind turbines require maintenance and regular inspections, which so far implied a high-power telescope maneuvered by a man 100 meters below the blades. GE Global Research, in partnership with Ithaca, is looking to improve the procedure by introducing a...
