Biofuel chemistry more complex than petroleum, say researchers
Sunny Record: Breakthrough for Hybrid Solar CellsScientists in Germany have succeeded in developing a method for treating the surface of nanoparticles which greatly improves the efficiency of organic solar cells. The researchers were able to attain an efficiency of 2 percent by using so-called quantum dots composed of cadmium selenide. These measurements, well above the […]
New nanoscale electrical phenomenon discovered
New nanoscale electrical phenomenon discoveredAt the scale of the very small, physics can get peculiar. A biomedical engineering professor has discovered a new instance of such a nanoscale phenomenon — one that could lead to faster, less expensive portable diagnostic devices and push back frontiers in building micro-mechanical and “lab-on-a-chip” devices.

Charging up electric car batteries in environmentally-friendly way
Charging up electric car batteries in environmentally-friendly wayElectromobility makes sense only if car batteries are charged using electricity from renewable energy sources. But the supply of green electricity is not always adequate. An intelligent charging station can help, by adapting the recharging times to suit energy supply and network capacity.
