Breakthrough in quest for solar hydrogen production
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010Scientists at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, have built on feats of Mother Nature to develop the most potent homogeneous catalyst known for water oxidation, which they hope will lead to producing clean hydrogen fuel using only water and sunlight. Could cars of the future be powered by just water and a [...]
Laser-activated nanotube speakers could be invisibly embedded in windows and walls
Monday, March 15th, 2010It is known that intense sound can be produced by electrically-powered nanotubes stretched into sheets, but researchers from University of Texas at Dallas (UT Dallas) have furthered this principle by arranging sheets of carbon nanotubes into “forests” which produce high-quality sound when struck with lasers. This is an exciting advancement [...]
Solar panels made three times cheaper and four times more efficient
Monday, March 15th, 2010As regular readers will know, we cover more than our fair share of breakthroughs promising next-generation super-efficient solar cells. Everything from growing photovoltaic crystals, applying special coatings or using carbon nanotubes teases us with cheaper, more efficient solar energy – eventually. In this latest news, scientists are using current technology in [...]
Eye concept – a glimpse of Tesla’s future?
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010The all-electric Tesla Roadster is indeed a fine-looking, high-performance automobile,
but its projected $US109,000 price tag will likely put it out of reach of the much sought-after Generation Y demographic. Tesla’s less-pricey Model S four-door sedan is more of a refined, subtly-classy car – again, not something the fun-loving twenty-somethings will be flocking [...]
3D TV is here
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010After all the hype prompted by the success of Avatar in cinemas and the flood of 3D technology unveiled at trade shows like CES 2010, 3D TV is finally becoming a reality in living rooms.
All the major players are well and truly on the 3D bandwagon and they’re set to make a [...]
