Nanosystems that are ‘theranostic’ — they combine both therapeutic and diagnostic functions — present an exciting new opportunity for delivering drugs to…
Researchers in the renewable energy sector are working hard in this respect. In this context, researchers in the UPV/EHU's Department of Applied Chemistry are…
Actually, the patent-pending device invented at The Ohio State University is both: the world’s first solar battery.
In modern ovens, heated air circulates evenly throughout the oven space. When cooking small quantities of food such as frozen pizza, this creates unnecessarily…
With 8 to 10 Cents per kilowatt hour, the production cost of photovoltaic electricity in Germany ranges below electricity cost from gas-fired or coal-fired…
The faeces contained in domestic sewage, so-called black water, can be used for producing biogas. Until now this has been mostly conducted at the end of the…
Michigan Technological University researcher Reza Shahbazian-Yassar has made it his business to better map the ion’s long, strange trip—and perhaps make it…
“As materials shrink, the rules governing heat transfer change as well,” explained David Cahill, a professor of materials science and engineering at Illinois….
A balanced ratio between the production and consumption is constantly required in electricity grids. To compensate for the unavoidable fluctuations and to…
Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas have created technology that could be the first step toward wearable computers with self-contained power…
Imagine a massive storm cell hits a major city in the United States, taking out a power substation leaving 20,000 people without electricity. Even with 24-hour…
Using a bio-mimicking analog of one of nature's most efficient light-harvesting structures, blades of grass, an international research team led by Alejandro…
When one sends an email from Boston to Beijing, it travels through submarine optical cables that someone had to install at some point. The positioning of these…
Last week, at the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, MIT researchers unveiled an oval-shaped submersible robot, a little smaller than…
'We think our discovery can open several doors to more environment-friendly, energy-efficient solutions for the batteries of the future,' says Daniel Brandell,…
Big disasters almost always result in big power failures. Not only do they take down the TV and fridge, they also wreak havoc with key infrastructure like cell…
