A new type of solar cell developed by a team of researchers from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado, is able to harvest the energy that photovoltaic cells usually lose as heat. Although the efficiency is for...
You can build a pedal powered generator if you were a puzzle fan in your childhood or if you simply love building things. So you get a double effect from work-out: great legs and power for your house!
A regular...
Ethanol is already established as a good biofuel source and is being blended with gasoline to make the fossil fuel cleaner-burning. But ethanol that is made from sugarcane crops has been found dirtier than previously thought, if the fields...
Two Chinese researchers have developed a chemical coating that makes cotton clothes self-cleaning. The method that gets rid of stains and foul smells is also eco-friendly, since the fabric doesn't have to be washed anymore. A simple exposure to...
I guess everybody knows by now what a hybrid car is, what it does and how. What most people don't know, though, is that you can do many tricks with an electric motor and a battery, and it doesn't...
The Japanese electronics giant Sony has announced the development of a new technology that produces energy from shredded paper.
At a fair about environmental products, opened in Tokyo, Sony invited children to make a little experiment. They introduced a paper...
The Energy Competence Centre (ECC) has recently finished the development of its second wind turbine project at the Massachusetts Military Reservation (MMR).
The project consists of the installation of two 1.5-megawatt GE wind turbines which will provide clean electricity to...
Volvo is going to become maybe the greenest car manufacturer out there, or at least they're going to produce the greenest car on the streets powered by a diesel engine and an electric motor. The new V60 will hit...
