Molecular Solar Ltd, a spinoff from the University of Warwick has made great progress in the solar energy field by managing to achieve the record-breaking 4 volts per cell in organic solar cells. That means that these photovoltaic cells...
We all know that wind turbines are one of the most used solutions for clean energy generation but like all things they have bad parts like noise from their blades, inadvertent bat and bird kills. New York design firm...
A roadblock that's standing in the way of alternative energy is energy storage. People have been traditionally using batteries and flywheels for that purpose, but their uses are limited and the energy they can provide (at least in the...
Although Nissan has recently been focused on building ultra-fast charging technologies, it seems that they didn't ignore the way cars will charge in the future. That's why their latest charging system is a wireless one - the Zero Contact...
Clay Wheeler, a researcher from the University of Maine has created what could be the alternative to using petroleum for making gasoline - a much greener alternative, in fact, but which also poses numerous other environmental concerns, because it...
Enel Green Power in collaboration with Renzo Piano Building Workshop have developed a mini wind turbine prototype that is more sensitive to low-altitude diffuse wind.
The new wind turbine has a capacity of 55 kW and can generate continuous electricity...
Although opinions among the Japanese are very different, the country's economy minister's Yukio Edano told Reuters in Paris that they will reduce the reliance on nuclear power, "but whether we are going to reduce it to zero is a...
After quitting the electric car program in 2003 and effectively trashing any of its remains (who knows the story knows that I'm referring to the EV1), General Motors is back into the electric car business. Starting with the Volt,...
Intentionally disregarding what else may happen as a consequence to global warming, a team of researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute in Denkmark has calculated the effects of global warming on sea levels alone. The team predicted them for...
A discovery made by researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) can eventually make lithium ion batteries cheaper by improving a key process that currently takes a lot of time to complete: filling the batteries with liquid electrolyte.
The...
