Solar Panels as Inexpensive as Paint?
Posted on May 13, 2013 at 07:18:09 pm
Most Americans want the U.S. to place more emphasis on developing solar power, recent polls suggest. A major impediment, however, is the cost to manufacture, install and maintain solar panels

Do-It-Yourself Invisibility With 3-D Printing
Posted on May 06, 2013 at 06:29:45 pm
Seven years ago, Duke University engineers demonstrated the first working invisibility cloak in complex laboratory experiments. Now it appears creating a simple cloak has become a lot simpler

Clean Electricity from Bacteria?
Posted on March 26, 2013 at 12:09:45 pm
Scientists at the University of East Anglia have made an important breakthrough in the quest to generate clean electricity from bacteria

Paint-On Plastic Electronics
Posted on March 25, 2013 at 07:31:13 am
Semiconducting polymers are an unruly bunch, but University of Michigan engineers have developed a new method for getting them in line that could pave the way for cheaper, greener, "paint-on" plastic electronics

Creating Indestructible Self-Healing Circuits
Posted on March 12, 2013 at 07:16:46 am
Imagine that the chips in your smart phone or computer could repair and defend themselves on the fly, recovering in microseconds from problems ranging from less-than-ideal battery power to total transistor failure

Cheap Hydrogen from Water One Step Closer
Posted on January 30, 2013 at 07:02:33 pm
Hydro­gen has tremen­dous poten­tial as an eco-friendly fuel, but it is expen­sive to pro­duce. Now researchers at Prince­ton Uni­ver­sity and Rut­gers Uni­ver­sity have moved a step closer to har­ness­ing nature to pro­duce hydro­gen for us

Revolutionary Cooling System Uses Lasers
Posted on January 30, 2013 at 09:33:54 am
With the latest discovery by scientists from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), current cooling systems which uses refrigerant harmful to the ozone layer could be replaced by a revolutionary cooling system using lasers.

Evolution Inspires More Efficient Solar Cell Design
Posted on January 27, 2013 at 07:39:08 am
The sun's energy is virtually limitless, but harnessing its electricity with today's single-crystal silicon solar cells is extremely expensive -- 10 times pricier than coal

Light Switch Inside Brain: Laser Controls Individual Nerve Cells in Mouse
Posted on January 18, 2013 at 09:24:55 pm
Activating and deactivating individual nerve cells in the brain is something many neuroscientists wish they could do, as it would help them to better understand how the brain works

Thin Film Solar Cells
Posted on January 18, 2013 at 08:20:05 pm
In a remarkable feat, scientists at Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, have developed thin film solar cells on flexible polymer foils with a new record efficiency of 20.4% for converting sunlight into electricity
