Mobile phone battery chargers also use power when the mobile phones are not being charged. The majority of power is wasted if the battery charger remains…
GEORGE TOWN: A bus of the future was unveiled in town yesterday.Using recycled oil palm as fuel and solar energy to operate its electrical system, the bus went…
The cell phone would come with an insert-ready hydrogen pack and a small solar array for charging. “We need to be realistic about what we can and can’t do with…
Almost since the first silicon MOSFET was invented, engineers have sought to construct versions using gallium arsenide or other III-V semiconductors, which…
Hydrogen will be one of the most important fuels of the future. It would be ideal to obtain hydrogen by splitting water instead of from petroleum. However, the…
The production of biofuels from basic plant material, rather than corn and other crops, would address concerns that making corn-based ethanol is pushing up…
Scientists work to convert sunlight to cheaper electricity at South Dakota State University. Research scientists are working with new materials that can make…
The study also suggests it will be more difficult than thought to make highly efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs) using organic materials. The findings hint…
A team of Clemson University researchers, led by Apparao Rao, professor of physics, has invented a way to make beds of tiny, shock-absorbing carbon springs…
