TECH & INNOVATIONA collaborative effort has led to the discovery of new inorganic material with lower thermal conductivity ever recorded, paving the way for a new class of thermoelectric materials.
Two new solar power generating stations are now producing electricity for more than 1,000 homes. One of the stations is named after Hydro-Quebec's first female engineer.
A new class of nanomaterials, called self-aware metamaterials, could supposedly generate their own power and sense changes in their environment - ushering the next material of fabricated living structures.
In the never-ending search for ways to harness energy, researchers are looking at a new method - using your clothes to harvest your own kinetic energy and power your electronic devices.
Thermoelectric 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.
