Moon To Provide Energy For India By 2030 With Helium

Medicine & Technology Feb 21, 2017

An ISRO scientist has concluded that energy can be provided by the moon in 2030. India is now finding a way to get Helium 3 in it.

Low-Cost Battery Can Be Made From Urine: Will Make Solar Power Cheaper

Feb 14, 2017

1M Electric Cars Target Moves To 2020

Jan 22, 2016

The Obama administration has failed to hit the one million sales target of electric vehicles by 2015, hence they moved the goal to 2020.

Massachusetts Institute Of Technology Develops Partially Self-Powering Incandescent Lightbulb

Jan 12, 2016

An MIT team of scientists had come up with a proof-of-concept of an incadescent lightbulb that uses its own heat to provide light.

With Inspiration from Tesla New iPhone Cases Pull Energy Out of Thin Air

May 06, 2015

In a nod to the original Tesla, Nikola Labs now announces that they have created a device that can convert radio waves into useable DC power for smart phones. If they are correct, our smart devices may be able to fully transition into the 21st century, no longer stuck with 19th century charging conventions.

Solvent Baths Promise Better Perovskite Crystals and Better Solar Energy

Mar 17, 2015

With the coming of spring, and the looming global warming ever at our odds, it’s clear that there’s enough heat already out in the world. So why would you want your “green” energy practices to contribute ever more to that heat? Current methods, for example, in the production of solar cells used to capture energy require an intense recrystallization process that comes at the price of a drastic raise in the temperature of the substance—perovskite. But now, thanks to chemists at Brown University, the green energy movement may soon be equated with a cooler movement, as well.

How One Innovation May Change the Solar Energy Game Forever

Mar 16, 2015

If you’ve ever ventured out into the middle of the desert, you’ve likely encountered a solar field of sorts. On the way to Las Vegas, for example, there exists a solar plant that leverages thousands of glass reflectors to burn hot with the power of the sun. But when it comes to more domesticate uses of the sun, researchers and consumers have been limited by the capabilities of light-absorbing perovskite films used in solar cells. Now, however, thanks to a PhD researcher at Brown University, the tides may have changed.

Making Sense of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCVs)

Dec 23, 2014

As stated by the California Fuel Cell Partnership, the primary benefits of operating an FCV are that they provide, "provide customers with a no-compromise electric-drive vehicle with longer range, quick refill, high performance and comfort along with zero emissions and a low-carbon and potentially renewable fuel."

How A Parasite Became a Power House—The Tale of Mitochondria

Oct 17, 2014

Through the use of simple components, sugar, oxygen and transfer molecules, the mitochondria are able to create and store energy through the simple movement of electrons from one bond to another. And in spite of conflicting theories describing their possible origins, a new study at the University of Virginia is proving that the energy creators weren’t always self-sustaining components.
