New Materials Could Make Concentrated Solar Power Cheaper Than Battery Storage
Researchers have developed new materials to use in ultra high temperature concentrating solar power systems. High temperatures mean more electricity from the same amount of sunlight, making CSP price competitive with batteries for making electricity from sunlight.
Even Just A Single Exposure To Roadway Particulate Matter Induces Transient Pulmonary Stress, Research Finds
Originally published on EV Obsession. Even just a single, sub-clinical exposure to extracts of particulate matter taken from the side of a roadway is enough to induce transient pulmonary stress (via oxidative and inflammatory pathways), according to new work from an international team of researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, … [continued]
A Big Jolt For Electric Vehicle Range & Fuel Efficiency, Sparked By Tiny Jeep
One day in the sparkling green future, tires will push electric vehicle range to new heights (and they might even talk to you, too).
Wood Computer Chips: Finally, Some Good News From Wisconsin
Despite the Koch-fueled pall hovering over the great state of Wisconsin, the public university system has produced a game changing wood computer chips.
Chasing The Clean Hydrogen Dream… Right Into Soap Lake, Washington
Call it clean hydrogen, sustainable hydrogen, or biohydrogen, it looks like the fuel cell EV owners of the future will have more options than they do now.
Aerogel Technology Offers Great Potential For Oil & Chemical Spill Cleanup
Responding effectively to oil and chemical spills may soon become much easier, based on new findings from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Researchers there have created a relatively environmentally friendly form of aerogel that possesses a number of impressive properties, including the ability to absorb oil and/or chemicals without absorbing water. … [continued]
Hydrogen Fuel Gets Boost From New, Inexpensive Materials
Hydrogen-powered transport may not compete with battery-electric transport at the moment (doesn’t even come close), but hydrogen could become useful in a few decades if research and development for this clean energy option. Below is the latest good news regarding hydrogen fuel research, reposted from Planetsave. While hydrogen fuel production … [continued]
