Green Technology Guide

The quest for the next step in the evolution of electronic gadgets and devices is on. Some believe that Graphene is the next logical step forward. And that seems to be sound assumption to make for now. Silicon based chips have reached their optimum poten

There is no denying the fact that fuel cell technology is the way forward when it comes to clean and efficient power sources. While solar energy and wind power work amazingly well for fixed installations, when it comes to automobiles and charging up on th

Remember the whole Greenpeace protest that just happened in San Francisco with black balloons and all? The guys at Greenpeace want Apple to clean up its ‘cloud’ and ensure that it uses more green energy. While we are all for renewable energy that cuts

The diverse possibilities to use nanoparticles in fields like computer memory storage, energy harvesting, remote sensing, catalysis, etc. is encouraging researchers to invest both time and money in decoding its complexities. In one such endeavor, scientis

A research team under the collective leadership of Nicolas Giuseppone and Bernard Doudin, successful created highly conductive plastic nanofibers that can self assemble. Giuseppone and his colleagues propelled the discovery by first determining the struc

Delft University of Technology is conducting tests on ammonia from urine to use it as a source for fuel cells in waste water treatment systems. Currently, fuel cells use hydrogen in order to produce power. They’re expensive and suffer from energy loss,

Purdue University researchers have recently developed a new technique that uses an innovative nanotechnology to recover wasted energy. This project will not only considerably reduce the usage of energy, but will also minimize the harmful emissions from th

Yesterday, we harped about how scientists were able to discover the cause of efficiency in organic polymer solar cells. And now, a group of researchers have determined how some materials perform comparatively better in the realm of printable electronics.

American company Pixel Qi doesn’t appear to be pleased with all the power hungry displays around. The maker of computer display technology has involved itself in manufacturing low consumption displays with high resolution that don’t adversely impact t

A few days ago we talked about how MIT researchers are developing solar oriented metamaterials that showcase a whopping 95 percent efficiency. And, now we have the scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory embarking on an endeavor to
