(Natural News) Solid oxide fuel cells could become more affordable and commonplace thanks to a recent study that successfully identified more than 50 candidate materials, reported a NanoWerk article. The new materials could allow a fuel cell to run at lower temperatures, which leads to a longer lifespan and cheaper costs. Materials researchers from the University of […]

(Natural News) The solar-powered water heater can be one of the most useful systems that you can implement in your own home. It offers many benefits, can be extremely cost-efficient, and you can save a lot of money by simply building such a system yourself. Indeed, building your very own solar-powered water heater can be […]

(Natural News) With tobacco use declining more and more in the U.S. each year, there are some who have realized that it may be on the way out. But when that happens, what is going to take up tobacco’s place in all of the currently used farmlands? Two researchers from the Michigan Technological University (MTU) […]

(Natural News) They say that necessity is the mother of invention. However, there are times when it simply makes sense to invent something, regardless of whether it’s really necessary at the moment or not. This might just be the case with the contraption made possible by a group of engineers that took perovskites and layered […]

(Natural News) Renewable energy is taking the world by storm, as “greenies” everywhere welcome with open arms the latest iterations of solar panels, wind turbines, and other “clean” energy alternatives to traditional fossil fuels like coal. But one of the things that many people who believe in “green energy” fail to realize is that many […]

(Natural News) Blockchain technology, the same database system that drives Bitcoin, is now being used to transform the energy sector. A consortium of concerned citizens have proposed a community microgrid iteration that allows people to bid for and sell solar energy to their neighbors. Brooklyn-based LO3 Energy seeks to create a series of local energy […]

(Natural News) A recent study published in Advanced Materials revealed that the so-called “green” element bismuth may be incorporated to solar panels in the future without the risk of potentially detrimental effects on human, animal, and environmental health. In the previous years, silicon has been the preferred material in developing solar cells. However, researchers noted that while silicon was […]

(Natural News) Solar energy sounds great in theory doesn’t it? What could possibly be better for the environment than making use of one of Earth’s most abundant natural resources: Sunlight. Plants use sunlight to create energy, and they do so flawlessly. It is no wonder that scientists have been seeking to use the sun as a […]

(Natural News) Though far too many Americans are enamored with the socialism of Sen. Bernie Sanders and our European brethren, one of the things that has always contributed to the wild success of the United States is our free-market economic model. The system we have today is more like crony capitalism, which is based on […]

(Natural News) For people who are constantly pointing towards “science” to make the case that carbon dioxide is destroying the planet, liberal environmentalists sure don’t know much about science. While the only emissions we ever really hear about is CO2, new federal data shows that another much more potent greenhouse gas is on the rise […]
