The thorny problem of how to store hydrogen fuel safely for future vehicles and portable gadgets could be solved by simply storing it in nanoscopic scrolls of carbon.
Scientists in Greece say they have found a way to make so-called...
Within a few years, laptops and other energy-guzzling portable devices could run on long-lasting, easily recharged fuel cells based on a safe and practical new way of storing and releasing hydrogen.
Chemist Don Gervasio and colleague Sonja Tasic, both at...
An ultra-thin solar cell that could provide a cheaper, lighter alternative to existing devices has been created by researchers in the US.
James Zahler from Aonex Technologies, together with colleagues from Harry Atwater's group at the California Institute of Technology...
A fuel cell that efficiently regulates its own power output based on the amount of hydrogen it is fed has been developed by US researchers. The simple control mechanism could extend the range of devices that can practically be...
Astronauts have been using them for power aboard spacecraft since the 1960s. Soon, perhaps, they'll be just as common on Earth--powering cars, trucks, laptop computers and cell phones.They're called fuel cells.
By combining hydrogen fuel with oxygen, fuel cells can...
With all the effort we are witnessing in developing environmentally progressive technologies for automotive applications, it's great to see that Boeing researchers and industry partners throughout Europe are planning to conduct experimental flight tests this year of a manned...
Stephen Friend has the first hand-built fuel cell-powered house in the US. No, not another hopeful boil-your-own-yogurt demo for an impractical technology, but a real, sustainable achievement that makes its own hydrogen in a cedar shed out back. And...
The Di Pietro motor concept is based on a rotary piston. Different from existing rotary engines, the Di Pietro motor uses a simple cylindrical rotary piston (shaft driver) which rolls, without any friction, inside the cylindrical stator. The space...
Despite concerns over global warming, scientists have discovered something that may have actually limited the impact of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere in recent years by reducing the amount of sunlight...
This car runs by itself with no need for GAS, OIL or any other external power source. It's entirely self-powered by an electric mechanism resemblant to Bedini's motor. See it for yourself! This is the future of the auto...
