Part of the future of solar energy, especially for residential use, may be small’community-based’ systems in which neighbors join together in the construction and use of solar systems to optimize the energy produced in their neighborhood — and share in the benefits. Increases of 5-10 percent in the energy produced…
When it comes to indoor lighting, nothing beats the sun’s rays streaming in through windows. Soon, that natural light could be shining through walls, too. Scientists have developed transparent wood that could be used in building materials and could help home and building owners save money on their artificial lighting…
Ionic transport has been studied extensively over the years for energy devices such as fuel cells and batteries using Li+, H+, Ag+, Cu+, F-, and O2-. Yet as researchers point out in a recent report, hydride ions (H-) may be particularly useful for high-energy-density storage and conversion devices. Using an…
By Web Marketing Association The Best Energy Websites in the world will be named as part of their 20th annual international WebAward Competition for Web site development at www.webaward.org. The WebAwards is the standards-defining competition that sets benchmarks for 96 industries, including energy websites, based on the seven criteria of…
Windows and solar panels in the future could be made from one of the best — and cheapest — construction materials known: wood. Researchers have developed a new transparent wood material that’s suitable for mass production.
