Technologies collectively known as Concentrating Photovoltaics will make solar energy much cheaper than it is today.

This is due to the advancements in solar cells, which absorb sun’s light and convert it into electricity.

The traditional means.

Wash your clothes in your washing machine without worrying about electricity bills! It does not consume electric power for its operation – it is pedal powered. This is the second such washing machine being spotted by ecofriend. A person can wash…

(Pix: VERRAZANO NARROWS: Under one proposal, the mile-wide channel would be the site of a raisable storm-surge barrier that would rival the Netherlands’ ‘eighth wonder of the world,’ which keeps North Sea storm surges at bay.)

With the sea levels…

Japanese researchers are up in their arms in the making of surprising and innovative machines. Here is another such creation – a motor that is powered by bacteria! This newly designed motor could be used to power micro-pumps on semiconductor chips,…

With “eco-friendly” rapidly getting into the product buzzwords, it seems couples are making attempts to green-up aspects of their nuptials. Holding a traditional Indian marriage ceremony, Patrick Koppula and Bhavna Shamasunder want to minimize…

To help combat global warming, Illinois is planning to build a pipeline for carrying greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from planned clean coal plants to aging oilfields, as greenhouse gas carbon dioxide can be captured at power plants, then pumping it…

Light-sensing cells to help restore visual functions! Called photoreceptors, light-sensing cells successfully transplanted directly into the eyes of mice, have restored their visual function.

Developed at the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye…

To add to the environment-friendly hydrogen-powered cars, researchers have discovered a way for absorbing and storing hydrogen safely and efficiently using “nanoporous” polymers – which are filed with nanoscopic holes.

We all have accepted the…

UK researchers have observed that ocean waves could be used as an energy-efficient way for desalinating seawater. Unlike the conventional purification plants that have high demands for energy, the rocking motion of floating buoys could be effectively.

Energy is normally lost during natural gas pipeline operations. The first multi-megawatt hybrid product is being developed that not only recover this normally lost energy, but also generate ultra-clean electricity during the recovery…
