The Miyata Plant of Toyota Motor Kyushu has exciting plans for the use of hydrogen in reducing carbon dioxide emissions. With the incorporation of solar and wind energy as the initiation of a project by of Fukuoka Prefecture, Toyota Motor...
Yet another sighting of one of Tesla’s productions hints at cool new driving features. Model S was recently spotted with what appears to be LIDAR hardware in Palo Alto, CA near Tesla’s headquarters. From the front of the vehicle a...
Electric vehicles might become the modern form of future transportation. Perhaps, this would explain the three men whose recent design is expected to compete with current vehicular batteries. The battery claim has not been entirely backed up evidence just yet,...
Scientists from Oxford University have found that bacteria can group into tiny wind farms and generate renewable energy. Renewable energy is continuously on the rise. Bigger and better solar and wind farms keep popping up, slowly but surely heading towards...
The European research institution Jülich just released new information on “zero-point energy” and its effect on the stability of nanomagnets. If scientists can determine how to magnetically store data, information can be stored in extremely small spaces. Quantum mechanics becomes...
University students in the UK have developed a pedal-powered energy generator. The produced electricity powers a projector for the duration of a whole movie. Over the recent years, we have spoken quite frequently about pedal power. It is a great...
There’s justification for the changes we’ve made in our personal lives to help the environment. The Antarctic ozone hole appears to be healing. The atmospheric chemist Susan Soloman, who was part of the recently published study on the Antarctic ozone...
In a section of Route 66 located in Missouri, MoDOT, the Federal Highway Administration, and Solar Roadways plans to install solar panels to serve as public roads by the year’s end. The specially-designed roadways will feature LED lights to cover...
Climate change happens from both direct and indirect human interference- just look at the recent rise in wildfires. A study in Nature Scientific Reports by ecologist Mike Waddington revealed the repercussions of draining and mining peatlands: widespread wildfires. Peatlands, or...
The U.S. Navy is looking at a way to extract hydrogen from seawater while capturing carbon dioxide to be used in fuel cells. Fuel cells represent an efficient way of converting hydrogen to electricity without generating harmful byproducts. Current refueling operations...
