Instead of systems based on standard solar panels, Duke engineer Nico Hotz proposes a hybrid option in which sunlight heats a combination of water and methanol…
Until now, it was almost impossible to achieve high efficiency with a warm-white LED light similar to that of an incandescent lamp, because the warmer the…
A team of electrical engineers at Vanderbilt University has developed all the basic components needed to create microelectronic devices out of thin films of…
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a glove with a special fingertip designed to improve the wearer's sense of touch. Applying a…
A new robot using high-precision tactile sensors and flexible motor control technology has taken Japan one step closer to its goal of providing high-quality…
Turning graphite oxide (GO) into full-fledged supercapacitors turns out to be simple. But until a laboratory at Rice University figured out how, it was…
The lab of Rice chemist James Tour lab has created thin films that could revolutionize touch-screen displays, solar panels and LED lighting. The research was…
The researchers say the results of their latest proof-of-concept experiments could lead to the replacement of electrical components with those based on optical…
When the wind causes the huge rotors to turn, it generates turbulence, which interferes with the operation of the wind turbines in the rows to the rear. To…
The pilot facility for this process, which is located at a site run by Singapore’s Public Utilities Board, has been operating in an energy- neutral manner…
Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have created a graphene and tin nanoscale composite…
An international team of researchers at the Universities of Göttingen, Bielefeld and Giessen, along with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the…
“Bodies of water are a huge, untapped source of energy. They contain highly concentrated and highly dense forms of energy, which provide roughly the same…
In a study in an upcoming issue of the journal Solar Energy, Kleissl and his team published what they believe are the first peer-reviewed measurements of the…
The lighting system, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) in conjunction with Boeing Co.,…
Contraction and extension of the stalk are induced by Ca2+ (calcium ions) and chelators such as EDTA and EGTA. As the stalk does not require an external power…
