New Solar Panel Material

Author: Mihail Andrici | Filed under: Energy & Environment, Materials Friday Oct 17,2008

Scientists at the Ohio State University have developed a new solar energy material that has two major advantages over current materials : it can use the all the energy that comes from the sunlight and makes it easier to capture the electrons it generates. The hybrid material is a result of combining electrically conductive plastic [...]

Global peak oil consumption could impact climate

Author: Mihail Andrici | Filed under: Energy & Environment, Global Warming Wednesday Sep 24,2008

We all know that fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas rise the percentage of atmospheric carbon dioxide. But most of all don’t know by how much. Well, the burning of fossil fuels are accounted for 80 percent of the atmospheric carbon dioxide since the pre-industrial era.
To anticipate emissions from the burning fuel and to [...]

New Energy Source : The Asphalt

Author: Mihail Andrici | Filed under: Energy & Environment, Research Tuesday Sep 9,2008

New Energy Source: The Asphalt ? Well, not the asphalt by itself, but must have noticed that parking lots on a summer day are a killer! The thing is that asphalt gathers a lot of energy from the sun and retains it’s heat even after the sun goes down better every solar plant out there. [...]

Seas to Rise Faster This Century

Author: admin | Filed under: Energy & Environment, Geoscience, Global Warming Sunday Sep 7,2008

According to a report made by some researchers,while tropical cyclones have been intensifying over the past few decades, it seems that global warming will cause sea levels to rise much faster by the end of the century. The rising temperatures will cause the oceans to swell with melted glacial ice, the study finds, likely [...]

Energy for 26,000 years: geothermal energy

Author: admin | Filed under: Energy & Environment, Research Friday Aug 22,2008

Everyone is excited with solar panels and almost every rich guy who builds a house takes into account a power solution to reduce the electric bill to minimum. At the same time, few know that the internal energy (magma) of the planet has a huge potential. For example, only 1% of geothermal reserves in the [...]
