Fuel cells gearing up to power auto industry
The average price for all types of gasoline is holding steady around $2.95 per gallon nationwide, but the pain at the pump might be short-lived as research from the University of Houston may eliminate one of the biggest hurdles to the wide-scale production of fuel cell-powered vehicles. view more (2007-10-31)
The technology centre LABEIN participates in the European project Dispower
The technology centre Labein is going to work on the project Dispower. Due to the pollution and integration problems with environment caused by electricity, the project Dispower aims to present another proposal for the creation of electric power. This new system is denominated "Distributed Generation". The main... view more... (2002-08-06)
Major progress in technology needed for 25 percent renewable energy use to be affordable
Dramatic progress in renewable energy technology is needed if the United States desires to produce 25 percent of its electricity and motor vehicle fuel from renewable sources by 2025 without significantly increasing consumer costs. view more (2008-06-25)
Electronic displays that fit on clothing could power revolution in lighting
A thin film of plastic which conducts electricity and produces solar power could be the basis for a revolution in the way we light our homes and design clothes. view more (2007-04-19)
Freeing light shines promise on energy-efficient lighting
The latest bright idea in energy-efficient lighting for homes and offices uses big science in nano-small packages to dim the future Edison's light bulb. view more (2008-07-16)
Portugal develops hydrogen fuel battery systems
A private capital company and two national research units took the first step towards the Hydrogen Society in Portugal in their launch of the construction of the first Portuguese prototypes of fuel battery systems, which will be presented within a year. view more (2002-06-26)
New iron-based and copper-oxide high-temperature
In the initial studies of a new class of high-temperature superconductors discovered earlier this year, research at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has revealed that new iron-based superconductors share similar unusual magnetic properties with previously known superconducting copper-oxide materials. view more (2008-05-29)
Major grant drives forward cost efficient solar power
Whether the search for alternative energy sources is driven by our concern about global fossil fuel supplies or over the atmospheric effects of burning of fossil fuels, the government has laid out its aim to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 60% of 1990 levels by 2050, and aims to over- achieve its goal of sourcing 10% of energy from renewables by... view more...

Silicon nanoparticles enhance performance of solar cells
Placing a film of silicon nanoparticles onto a silicon solar cell can boost power, reduce heat and prolong the cell's life, researchers now report. view more (2007-08-21)
High-temperature superconductors: magnetic glue may be the clue
Striking pictures of magnetic waves inside advanced ceramics may be the clue to understanding how they can transmit electricity without losing energy, according to results obtained by two teams of scientists using the UK's world-leading ISIS neutron source in Oxfordshire and published this week in the journal Nature. The ceramics, known as... view more... (2004-06-02)
Energy at the Crossroads
Market intervention required if government emissions targets are to be met say chemical engineers Low wholesale electricity prices in the UK's liberalised energy market are continuing to stifle investment into new clean power technologies with serious implications for the government's CO2 targets and the security of future energy supplies. This is... view more... (2002-09-19)
The University of Barcelona to have the largest photovoltaic system ever installed in a single building in Barcelona
Barcelona, (14/1/2002).- The Faculties of Physics and Chemistry of the University of Barcelona (UB) will have the most powerful photovoltaic system ever installed in a single building in the city of Barcelona thanks to the "UnivERsol" project (Universities, Renewable Energies, solar), which is co-financed by the Directorate General for... view more...

Titania nanotubes create potentially efficient solar cells
A solar cell, made of titania nanotubes and natural dye, may be the answer to making solar electricity production cost-effective, according to a Penn State researcher. view more (2006-02-08)
Why youth hostel showers are like the stock market
Diversity keeps you warm. At least that is true while you're having a shower in youth hostels. If you like, this sums up the research project just published by scientists from the Universities of Fribourg and Bonn. Their result is not as trivial as it sounds. Ultimately it shows that heterogeneity provides stability, whether this is in a shower,... view more... (2008-02-12)
More flexible method floated to produce biofuels, electricity
Researchers are proposing a new "flexible" approach to producing alternative fuels, hydrogen and electricity from municipal solid wastes, agricultural wastes, forest residues and sewage sludge that could supply up to 20 percent of transportation fuels in the United States annually. view more (2008-10-15)
Carnegie Mellon study sets benchmark properties for popular conducting plastic
Steadily increasing the length of a purified conducting polymer vastly improves its ability to conduct electricity, report researchers at Carnegie Mellon University. view more (2006-03-30)
Microorganisms one part of the solution to energy problem, says report
The answer to one of the world's largest problems - the need for clean, renewable sources of energy - might just come from some of the world's smallest inhabitants - bacteria - according to a new report, Microbial Energy Conversion, released by the American Academy of Microbiology. view more (2006-11-17)
'Thin-layer' solar cells may bring cheaper 'green' power
Scientists are researching new ways of harnessing the sun's rays which could eventually make it cheaper for people to use solar energy to power their homes. view more (2007-08-24)
ICT management in Kenya- 'Just laying a cable is not always possible'
ICT management is as necessary in Kenya as it is in other developing countries. But the Western management tools or models cannot be applied right away, for example, in the Kenyan situation. This is one of the conclusions of the PhD research carried out by Gregory Wanyembi working at the faculty of Information Systems and Technology. He will... view more... (2002-04-17)
