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 [...]

Batteries based on sweat and human blood

Author: admin | Filed under: Energy & Environment, Nanotech, Research Wednesday Aug 20,2008

U.S. researchers have created a new electric battery, capable to operate on the basis of sweating or human blood, similar to a simple piece of black paper and which may have a wide range of applications. Researchers have produced a molecular structure formed in proportion of 90% of pulp and proportion of 10% of nano-tubes [...]

Adhesive Solar Panels Now Available

Author: admin | Filed under: Energy & Environment Tuesday May 13,2008

Enterprising startups (Sungevity for example) exploit the growing interest in solar power for either public or private use. In spite of its advantages, this system has proven itself to be costly on installation, slow and with a few unwanted side effects. Installing a solar panel usually involves damaging the structural
integrity of the roof by drilling [...]

Sunny weather is melting the Arctic ice

Author: admin | Filed under: Bioscience & Medicine, Energy & Environment Wednesday Apr 23,2008

The extremely sunny weather last year has lead to a loss of Arctic ice in a degree that has never been seen before.
“In a warmer world, the thinner sea ice is becoming increasingly sensitive to year-to-year variations in weather and cloud patterns,” says NCAR’s Jennifer Kay, the lead author of the study. “A single unusually [...]
