Marcio Loos, is a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Macromolecular Science and Engineering has reached to new blades for the wind turbines that are much lighter than the used blades nowadays, which will make the blades will move by less wind. The new blades are made from polyurethane reinforced with carbon nanotube, using a small commercial blade … Continue reading

Runs Faster And Longer Hybrid Car

Emile Greenhalgh’s laboratory at Imperial College London researchers have modified a model of a hybrid vehicle to increase the amount of electrical energy it can store by adding  body components that double as capacitors, devices that hold an electrical charge until they are tapped.  On the same time designers of full-scale electric vehicles are working … Continue reading
