Fuel Cells, Energy Conversion And Mathematics
| Carbon Nanotubes Could Make Efficient Solar Cells Using a carbon nanotube instead of traditional silicon, researchers have created the basic elements of a solar cell that hopefully will lead to much more efficient ways of converting light to electricity than now used in calculators and on rooftops. |
| Ways To Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions From Transport The most important way to reduce carbon dioxide from transport is to get the transport sector integrated into the overall energy system, according to experts. |
| New Transparent Insulating Film Could Enable Energy-efficient Displays Materials scientists have found a way to transform a chemical long used as an electrical conductor a thin film insulator potentially useful in transistor technology and in devices such as electronic books. |
| Actions Taken Over Next Decade To Demonstrate And Deploy Key Technologies Will Determine US Energy Future With a sustained national commitment, the United States could obtain substantial energy-efficiency improvements, new sources of energy, and reductions in greenhouse gas emissions through the accelerated deployment of existing and emerging energy technologies. |
| Fuel Cells, Energy Conversion And Mathematics Concerns about dwindling fossil fuel resources, current levels of petroleum consumption, and growing pressure to shift to more sustainable energy sources are among many factors prompting the transition from our current energy infrastructure to one that uses less carbon and requires the efficient conversion of energy. Fuel cells have the potential to replace the internal combustion engine in vehicles and provide power in stationary and portable power applications, as they are energy-efficient, clean and fuel-flexible. |
| Plugging Into An Electric Vehicle Revolution A road trial of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, which could one day end up in every Australian driveway, is underway. |
