Click the banner to register The United Nations hosted a Climate Change Summit yesterday in New York, in anticipation of the Copenhagen Climate Conference in December. Here are some of the highlights. The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s new Administrator, Dr. Richard Newell, today launched an Energy and Financial Markets Initiative to improve understanding and analysis of what drives energy prices. “EIA’s traditional coverage of ‘fundamentals’ such as energy consumption, production, inventories, spare production capacity,and geopolitical risks is essential, but moving forward EIA must also assess other influences, such [...] UW Researchers from the University of Washington have developed a method of producing electricity from trees. The team has taken successfully ran a circuit solely off tree power. A study last year from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that plants generate a voltage of up to 200 millivolts when one electrode is placed in a [...] Solar Roadways recently announced that it has been awarded a DOT contract that will enable them to prototype the first ever Solar Road Panel. The Solar Roadways will collect solar energy to power businesses and homes via structurally-engineered solar panels that are driven upon, to be placed in parking lots and roadways in lieu of petroleum-based [...] CLEMSON – Clemson chemistry assistant professor Rhett Smith will receive $598,000 in a National Science Foundation CAREER Award to study a new class of materials that conduct electrical currents and can be used in thin, lightweight and flexible plastic electronic devices. “Some of the most exciting applications that are targeted are ultrathin, flexible displays like television [...] The following excerpt is from the University of Illinois Research news: CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Fifty thousand dry casks of spent nuclear fuel have nowhere to go for long-term storage. Yucca Mountain in Nevada appears to be all but dead as an option. So now is the time to create specific institutions, funds and financial incentives to manage [...] PedalPower+ is an innovation that allows bike riders to recharge their mobile phones, GPS and other small devices in a safe and regulated process from a bicycle hub or bottle dynamo. In the ‘old’ days, a bicycle dynamo was only used for one thing, bicycle lighting, which was the only electronic application that a rider needed. [...] NJIT.edu An NJIT architecture professor with an architecture student has designed a network of modular floating docks to harness clean energy for New York City. The proposal was featured recently in Metropolis magazine. According to Richard Garber, assistant professor of architecture at the College of Architecture and Design at NJIT and his student Brian Novello, the [...] In this cross-section of an organic photovoltaic cell ( below), light passes through the upper layers (from top down, glass, indium tin dioxide, and thermoplastic) and generates a photocurrent in the polymer-fullerene layer. Channels formed by polymers (tan) and fullerenes (dark blue) allow electric current to flow into the electrode at bottom. National Institute of [...] |
