Patients prone to heart disease may one day be told by physicians to avoid not only fatty foods and smoking but air pollution too.
GE Global Research, the centralized research organization of the General Electric Company, announced that scientists on their Nano Photovoltaics (PV) team have demonstrated a scalable silicon nanowire-based solar cell, which has the potential to achieve up to 18% efficiency and be produced at a dramatically lower cost than conventional solar cells. This demonstration represents a promising development in the effort to make PV systems more economically viable for consumers.
nCoat and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro, North Carolina have established a technical collaboration agreement for characterization and development of nanotechnology based materials and industrial coatings.
The Bureau of Economic Geology at The University of Texas at Austin s Jackson School of Geosciences announces the Advanced Energy Consortium (AEC), a multimillion-dollar research consortium dedicated to the development of micro and nanotechnology applications to increase oil and gas production.
A national team of scientists led by experts at Durham University are embarking on one of the UK’s largest ever research projects into photovoltaic (PV) solar energy.
nCoat, Inc. has announced the signing of an agreement for business collaboration and commercial product development with Sunvention USA, Inc. and BSR Solar Technologies GmbH using nCoat nanotechnology coatings in a Concentrated Solar Thermal Power (CSP) system.
People who follow nanotechnology news have become accustomed to hearing how scientists are making super-small devices even smaller. But here’s a headline from Prof. Arie Zaban, Head of Bar-Ilan University’s Nanotechnology Institute: using nano-based methods, he’s managed to create a solar cell that’s 100 times bigger than his previous design.
The US electricity distribution grid is around 100-years old and aging faster than new construction renews it while peak demand for electricity is projected to rise 19 percent nationally during the next decade--capital investments in electrical generation, transmission and distribution are forecast to grow by only 6 percent over the same period, according to the Electrical Power Research Initiative.
A new material, nano flakes, may revolutionise the transformation of solar energy to electricity. If so, even ordinary households can benefit from solar electricity and save money in the future.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy¡¦s Brookhaven National Laboratory have unveiled important details about a class of catalysts that could help improve the performance of fuel cells. With the goal of producing ¡§clean¡¨ hydrogen for fuel cell reactions in mind, the researchers determined why two next-generation catalysts including gold, cerium, titanium, and oxygen nanomaterials exhibit very high activity. Their results will be published online in the December 14, 2007, edition of the journal Science.
