New path to solar energy via solid-state photovoltaicsResearchers have found a new mechanism by which the photovoltaic effect can take place in semiconductor thin-films. This new path to energy production brightens the future for photovoltaic technology by overcoming voltage limitations that plague conventional solid-state solar cells.

Closing in on a carbon-based solar cellTo make large sheets of carbon available for light collection, chemists have devised an unusual solution — attach what amounts to a 3-D bramble patch to each side of the carbon sheet. Using that method, the scientists say they were able to dissolve sheets containing as many as 168 […]
NYS DEC - Waking Up After its HiatusThe word from a large environmental law firm in Albany confirms there’s a new sheriff in town. Clients who have seen 12 years of little to no enforcement pressure from DEC are getting concerned and calling their attorneys for advice. Good news for lawyers and even bettter news […]
Nanotech coatings produce 20 times more electricity from sewageEngineers have made a significant advance toward producing electricity from sewage, by the use of new coatings on the anodes of microbial electrochemical cells that increased the electricity production about 20 times. The findings bring the researchers one step closer to technology that could clean biowaste at […]
Can You Hear Me Now? Public vs. Private Networks for the Smart GridIn the frenzied smart grid discussions of networking topologies, standards, and frequencies, the first fundamental question is whether utilities should build their own dedicated private communications infrastructure or leverage existing public telecom networks. To anyone from the telecom industry, this seems like a […]
“Our Choice” by Al GoreFormer Vice President Al Gore’s new book, “Our Choice,” exceeded my expectations. It should be required readng for new Chief Sustainability Officers, corporate green team members, and anyone else who has decided to place sustainability closer to the center of what they do.
