Wouldn’t it be fun and eco friendly if your iPhone was thinner and lighter and its battery could last weeks or even months instead of just a day? With the invention of organic batteries, that far away dream may just be possible. Organic batteries are th
Alternative energy industry, as we all know, is growing exponentially. Till now we have successfully produced energy from fossil fuels, petroleum, coal, etc. And, when we realized that these sources are finite, we started exploring renewable sources like
The main limiting factor that is currently slowing down the process of fuel cell development is the inadequate studies made with respect to metallic catalysts. In this regard, Chemists at Brown University experimented with gold and developed a triple head
With the growing oil needs of the planet it seems only natural that the frequency of ocean liners carrying crude oil meeting with an accident has gone up in the last couple of decades. And with it the very real danger of oil spills that spread at an alarm
We have been constantly writing about the need for the inclusion of renewable energy generating systems in future buildings, which can provide power to their inhabitants without hurting the environment. Architects have been planning the same for their upc
Hydrogenation, the process of mixing hydrogen atoms to unsaturated oil, is a key chemical process in many industries like oil refining and is the base of turning crude to gasoline. In many similar industries, for example in production of plant oils like C
The latest innovation of technology is the nano sized transistor made from organic materials found in the human body. Earlier silicon a semi-conductor formed the basis of modern technology including cellphones, computers and various other electronic devic
Why we are asking this now? Ocean acidification has been an ongoing process that relates to decreasing pH values, and thus increasing of acidic nature of our oceans. The reasons are many; however the major one among them is the water’s absorption of ‘hum
Whenever you hear the word sugar, you are probably reminded of sugar on donuts, sugar in tea, but that’s not the sugar we will talk about here. It is fermentable sugar, a form of biofuel that has grabbed our attention. In particular we will discuss the
A team of scientists from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford have demonstrated that ultra thin sheets of an exotic material after being flexed 1,000 times and folded like a piece of paper can remain highly conductive and yet transparent. Th
