(Natural News) The world is now, after a few long years, slowly starting to come around on the concept of renewable energy. While it’s true that the idea of using renewable energy sources has been around for literally decades now, it’s only now that it has become truly economically viable. In fact, it has become […]

(Natural News) What do you get when you combine an edible mushroom, photosynthetic bacteria, 3D printing, and nanotechnology in one package? A solar-powered bionic fungus, stated a Phys.org article, which can produce usable electricity. This Frankenstein’s Monster is the brainchild of researchers from the Stevens Institute of Technology (Stevens). They used a 3D printer to create cyanobacteria clusters and graphene-based […]

(Natural News) The search for innovative and efficient clean energy is never-ending. Thanks to a revolutionary system, Cornell University’s College of Veterinary Medicine Teaching Dairy Barn is able to produce clean energy from cow manure. From cow manure to clean energy This state-of-the-art system separates manure from sand bedding material, provides clean bedding for the cows, and creates muck that is […]

(Natural News) A new study carried out by researchers from Rice University has determined that the most damaging pollutant from the coal-fired power plants in Texas is particle-forming sulfur dioxide. After analyzing the effects of emissions from more than a dozen of the state’s coal plants, they discovered that those living downwind of such plants […]

(Natural News) A joint effort between American and Saudi Arabian researchers produced a gadget that combines the functions of a battery and a solar cell. They reported that their “solar flow battery” can absorb sunlight, convert it into chemical energy, and hold the energy until there is need for it. The Science Daily article explained […]

(Natural News) Scientists from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering have just discovered a way to build thinner but more efficient solar panels, able to harness more power from the sun than current and conventional solar cells. The new technology is a perovskite-CIGS tandem solar cell, which means it is composed of two layers. On top […]

(Natural News) Water is already a vital component of human life, but scientists have found yet another use for it — as a source of clean fuel. It comprises two oxygen atoms and a hydrogen atom — the latter, in particular, is an increasingly popular energy source because it is easily stored and holds a lot […]

(Natural News) Researchers found a better way to squeeze more electricity out of solar power. An article in Science Daily described how they modified photosynthesis so that it could split water into its component molecules. In the photosynthetic process, sunlight is used by plants, some bacteria, and certain protists to turn carbon dioxide and water into food. […]

(Natural News) A power outage can occur so sudden at times, leaving most people unprepared. On average, a power outage may last for up to five hours, which may disrupt your daily habits. However, extreme weather conditions can cause power outages for months, and it would require a complete lifestyle change because it could be […]

(Natural News) A smart meter is an electronic device that records the amount of electricity consumed by a household and then relays that information to the electricity supply company for monitoring and billing. That might sound like a really smart, energy-efficient idea, but despite their intelligent-sounding name, “smart” meters are actually a really dumb idea – not to mention dangerous. […]
