Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National
Laboratory have refined a technique to manufacture solar cells by creating tubes
of semiconducting material and then "growing" polymers directly inside
them. The method has the potential to be significantly cheaper than the process
used to make today's commercial solar cells
Hydrogen fuel, because its only byproduct is steam, should be the ultimate in green alternatives to fossil fuels, but it hasn’t delivered on its promise yet because of one enormous stumbling block, storage. Now a team of chemical engineers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has developed a computational model that shows that carbon nanotubes may offer a surprising solution
A wall of graphene a single nanometer wide could be the difference between an oil well that merely pays for itself and one that returns great profit
The long awaited news on dates and location for nanotxUSA 2010 are finally clear, the event is being rescheduled for the following year. Exhibitors and other partners wishing to participate in a 2010 event are being asked to be part of the important Green Technologies Conference being produced by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today outlined a new research strategy to better understand how manufactured nanomaterials may harm human health and the environment
Imagine a gift wrapped in paper you really do treasure and want to carefully fold and save. That's because the wrapping paper lights up with words like "Happy Birthday" or "Happy Holidays," thanks to a built in battery - an amazing battery made out of paper
New research by MIT scientists suggests that carbon nanotubes - tube-shaped molecules of pure carbon - could be formed into tiny springs capable of storing as much energy, pound for pound, as state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries, and potentially more durably and reliably
At the 24th Photovoltaic Solar Energy Exhibition held in Hamburg from 21 to 25 September 2009, Arkema presents its latest innovation for the photovoltaics market: Apolhya™ Solar, a nanostructured thermoplastic polymer for the encapsulation of new generation photovoltaic modules
Research and Markets, the leading source for international market research and market data, has announced the addition of the "Nanotechnology and Photovoltaics Trends and Market Potential" report to their offering
Using a carbon nanotube instead of traditional silicon, Cornell researchers have created the basic elements of a solar cell that hopefully will lead to much more efficient ways of converting light to electricity than now used in calculators and on rooftops
