Biofuel cells (BFCs) and microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are about to get a boost in efficiency thanks to a project aimed at creating hybrid electrodes.
In this particular meaning, "hybrid" means that the UK-led project will combine inorganic with organic...
Tesla Motors is again having financial troubles these days, as their shares fell by 7 percent, down to $30.19 in NYSE. The drop has been caused by news that Toyota's new electric RAV4 will sell for double what it...
Microsoft is going green starting July - the latest news tell that's for sure. However they're not taking the Facebook or Apple approach to that, but a rather more bureaucratic, systematized and nevertheless still effective way - they're putting...
A new large-area piezoelectric nanogenerator technology has been developed by a team of scientists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. The new technology uses piezoelectric ceramic nanoparticles and overcome limitations of previous piezoelectric materials.
Led by Prof....
Did you ever fight the driver of a car because he wanted to turn on the air conditioning and you didn't, afraid that you might catch a cold? Or the other way around? No need to worry from now...
If electric vehicles sound scary (because of range anxiety), how do electric planes sound? Being stranded on the ground is nothing compared to getting stranded in the sky! But have no fear, the GT4 is here! More precisely, the...
Fusion reactors are thought to be the mothers of all power plants. They'll emit no gases, eat up no polluting resources and provide all of the energy humanity needs for heading towards self-destr... evolution. However, science didn't allow us thus...
A new gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductor developed by NGK Insulators will hugely increase the luminous efficiency of LEDs from 30-40% to about 90%, reports TechOn.
The transparent wafer created by NGK has a very low defect density and has been...
In the years to come, the electric grid is to change radically. What is now produced by coal-fired plants and consumed instantly, will then be produced by wind turbines and solar panels, and stored inside batteries or other forms...
Everyone knows electric cars have to be cheap to be accessible to become mainstream and to make the transition from gas faster and steadier. Karabag, a German startup specialized in electric vehicle conversions, is combined a 20 kW forklift...
