Without question nanotechnology is a key component in our energy future.   In recent years, developers have been investigating light-harvesting thin film solar panels made from nanotechnology…

Icon for Cosmic Embryo: Erupting star V838 Monocerotis We have more than enough renewable energy sources to keep every person on earth moving over its surface as much as they might want. For an…

Creating environmental protection trade barriers would likely result in a global catastrophe, a war bigger than World War I and World War II combined.  This is what most of us have been led to…

In an ideal energy future, man-made solar cells would mimic much of the functionality of efficient plant life.   Currently solar cell technology is expensive and a maintenance headache but…

 New York State would achieve significant cost savings, while also creating opportunities to generate revenue with state owned assets by shifting to Real Time Pricing. Furthermore, the state may…

In all of the excitement about 'renewable' energy that can replace fossil fuels, we look to the future - algae, seaweed, switchgrass, we have articles on practically every new idea - but forget to…

Metabolic engineering may rescue our energy future. A new strain of yeast that is more efficient at fermenting galactose might make red seaweed a viable future biofuel. Producers of biofuels made…

The race is on to replace lithium-ion batteries and Rice University research may put nickel-tin nanowires in the hunt. The vertical arrays of nickel-tin nanowires are encased in PMMA, the…

Lactococcus lactis, the workhorse bacterium that helps turn milk into cheese, may also lead to understanding of how microbes turn the organic compound cellulose into biofuels, according to new…
