Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) have created a technoeconomic model that should help accelerate the development of a next generation of clean, green biofuels that can compete with gasoline in economics and well as performance. This online, wiki-based model enables researchers to pursue the most promising strategies for cost-efficient [...]

A new company, Kepler Energy Limited, has been formed to develop a tidal turbine which has the potential to harness tidal energy more efficiently and cheaply, using a device which is simpler, more robust and more scaleable than current designs. The turbine is the result of research in Oxford University’s Department of Engineering Science by [...]

Have a read of the article below on Nano Batteries… we are sure you will find it crosses all the ‘t’s’ and dots all the ‘i’s’. On our site we strive to provide the most up-to-date information. Remember that you read it here first, and please tell your friends. Batteries Smaller Than a Grain of [...]

Fuel cells are quite a popular topic at the moment, and you will find some interesting information on fuel cells in the article below. This should help introduce you to the topic and hopefully you will find the article relevant, and may even possibly share it with others. Don’t forget to let us know what [...]

Physicists at Rutgers University have discovered new properties in a material that could result in efficient and inexpensive plastic solar cells for pollution-free electricity production. The discovery, posted online and slated for publication in an upcoming issue of the journal Nature Materials, reveals that energy-carrying particles generated by packets of light can travel on the [...]

As the United States seeks to lessen its reliance on foreign oil, biodiesel is expected to play a role. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, a branch of the Department of Energy, biodiesel “represents a significant energy resource and could someday supply 3 percent to 5 percent of the distillate fuel market.” One major [...]

Researchers at Vienna University of Technology (TU Vienna) are using biological principles as the inspiration to develop a new bionic fuel cell. Every living cell in our body can do it: covered with a thin membrane known as a cell membrane or nanomembrane, the cells can deliberately let specific substances in and out. Although it [...]
