-(Natural News) New York-based researchers developed self-assembling nanomaterials for solar technology applications. Photovoltaic cells made from these materials reached up to 44 percent higher levels of efficiency. Furthermore, the cells generated more usable solar charges. Sunlight is an abundant source of clean energy. Industries are switching from traditional, highly polluting fossil fuel energy sources to solar power […]

-(Natural News) In 2008, a winery in Napa Valley, California set up the first floating solar array in the world. The idea of floating solar panels became popular in Asia, but it only gained traction in the U. S. in recent years. Experts believe that floating solar arrays on artificial bodies of water might produce more than 400 […]

-(Natural News) Indiana-based researchers found a way to upcycle disposable plastic bags into raw material for making valuable products. Their process turned polyethylene plastic into carbon chips with sufficient purity to serve as materials for manufacturing anodes of lithium-ion batteries. Plastic pollution is one of the biggest problems threatening the environment. A lot of this trash comes in the form […]

-(Natural News) California’s technology industry is booming and as such is attracting hundreds of thousands of people to work in a state that is already crowded. With a population approaching 40 million people, California, which is largely desert in many parts of the state, is struggling to keep its basic infrastructure of power functioning. Now, […]

-(Natural News) Researchers are taking another big step toward understanding the behavior of the sun and the effects of its solar weather on Earth. They recently released the most accurate animated depiction of a solar flare going through its entire life cycle. The short movie covers a hypothetical flare’s existence from its formation to its conclusion. Its use of distinct colors show how […]

-(Natural News) In order to conserve land, researchers proposed an alternative location for space-intensive solar energy farms. They wanted to set up floating solar photovoltaic arrays on the surfaces of the thousands of artificial reservoirs that provide drinking water and hydroelectric power to the United States. A recent study conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) pointed […]

-(Natural News) Harvesting hydrogen gas from water is going to be a much cheaper process thanks to the findings of New York-based researchers. They found a way to make the water splitting process much simpler, which could increase the overall efficiency of hydrogen fuel production and save on expended catalysts. As its name implies, water splitting is a method […]

-(Natural News) The United States military could very soon be getting a major field upgrade, as military heads are in the process of test-running a new type of nuclear mini-reactor that they say will have the capacity to power troops in otherwise hard-to-reach places of the world, such as hillside camps located in remote areas […]

-(Natural News) The creator of the popular peer-to-peer file transfer system known as BitTorrent is developing a brand new cryptocurrency that’s already being hailed as the eco-friendly alternative to Bitcoin. Set to be released this summer, “Chia” will rely on what are known as “proofs of time” that use far less energy than Bitcoin’s “proofs […]

-(Natural News) The race is on to replace so-called “dirty” energy — which is created by burning fossil fuels from coal and oil and which pollutes the environment — with energy from cleaner sources like solar, wind and hydro power. Evidence of this change can be seen all around us in the form of wind […]
