Tweet The new efficient broadband nanoplasmonic solar cells was produced by the researchers of Melbourne’s Swinburne University of Technology and Suntech Power Holdings. The new solar cells are made from thinner silicon base and they overcome the lost effectiveness from the thinner silicon by embedding gold and silver nanoparticles bumps into the cells. The bumps [...]
Tweet March earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan has increased the possibilities of earthquakes, which increases the danger on Fukushima nuclear plant. The research calls for the Japanese to maximize the security on the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in order to resist the possible earthquakes. The research was done according to a tremor that [...]
Tweet The largest fuel cell of its type in the world is now available by Chemicals Solvay, as they announced about a super-battery that can produce enough power to cover the needs of 1400 houses. Solvay announced today it has successfully commissioned its 1 MegaWatt (MW) industrial demonstration Fuel Cell at the SolVin plant in [...]
Tweet Scientists of Cambridge University have reached a new solar cell that can harness the power of photons and turnning the photons to electrons. The solar cells are made from lead sulphide nanoparticles and pentacene, the new development could lead to better solar panels. The solar cell could increase the maximum efficiency of solar panels [...]
Tweet Changing your roof to be a power of solar energy is a new solution produced by MIT. MIT researchers have introduced a new solar cells made from the agricultural waste, the new cells can be manufactured on the site which will placed on. A researcher at MIT, Andreas Mershin, has created solar panels from [...]
Tweet Researchers of the University of Bristol have reached to a detergent that can attract the oil spills from the water as a magnet. The detergent is formed from dissolved iron ions in a solution that contains chloride ions, bromide ions and other ions, the solution then works like a magnet that would break the [...]
Tweet Scientists have searching for other sources of biofuels instead of those that are available now that are made from eatable sources. Researchers from Bio Architecture Lab (BAL) announced that they reached a new technology that will use seaweed as a source of a cost effective biomass fuel. They reached a way to engineer a microbe [...]
Tweet Is it possible to turn plastic into crude oil? An Oregon based company by the name of Agilyx claims that not only is it possible, they have already invented a process in which discarded plastic is converted into oil. A model has been in the works for over the past 18 months, with the [...]
Tweet India has recently taken great strides to join the Green movement, such as tightening up environmental regulation or installing solar panels, but the approach of Diwali is no exception. Known as the festival of lights, Diwali is an important event in Hindi culture. It has long been custom for people to celebrate the festival by shooting off [...]
Tweet The greenhouse is the building in which plants are grown. The greenhouses vary in size very small to huge areas and the material that covers it could be either glass or plastic. In some countries the greenhouses are built in huge areas, so considering to benefit from those areas in other purpose could be [...]
