TECH & INNOVATIONThermoelectric power is becoming a feasible alternative for clean energy with the discovery of new materials - and a new layered crystal containing rhenium and silicon could usher the future of these devices.
The US Air Force is planning to harvest space solar power from its unlimited source, the Sun. This is in response to the ever-increasing energy demands of humans.
New nuclear fission took place in Chernobyl, and it caused high alert to scientists. The Chernobyl nuclear disaster in the late 1980s remains one of the worst nuclear explosions in the history of man.
Solar power is being used as an energy source in over 100 airports around the world. With the empty spaces airports have, why not turn them into massive solar farms?
Scientists say underwater volcanic eruptions could possibly power the entire US, but harnessing such potential energy would need a very difficult effort.
Chernobyl seeks World Heritage status out of a heap of broken images. Do you want to go to the site of the world's worst nuclear power disaster? Ukraine's government expects so.
These are energy companies that use innovative ways of converting biomass which is plant or animal-related end products to generate fuel. The fuel generated can be a replacement of the generic inorganic products such as diesel, petrol, and kerosene. Biofuel companies are gaining international recognition because of the role they play in stabilizing the ozone layer and reverse global warming.
