As the confetti from New Year’s Eve celebrations settles, it is only fitting that we prepare our 2024 New Year’s Resolutions. Our resolutions are often about a change we wish to see in ourselves, but what about making them around the change we wish to see in our homes and … [continued]
The Buildings Upgrade Prize Phase 1 winners will advance to Phase 2 with up to $400,000 each in cash prizes and extensive technical assistance
CleanTechnica attended RE+ this year in Las Vegas and we were able to spend a ton of time with BLUETTI at the show. We were eager to learn more about the company and people behind the products we know so well. While there, BLUETTI’s leadership talked to us about their … [continued]
No demolition required. A few small tweaks to each room could dramatically shrink your carbon footprint.
A new MIT platform enables researchers to “grow” halide perovskite nanocrystals with precise control over the location and size of each individual crystal, integrating them into nanoscale light-emitting diodes. Pictured is a rendering of a nanocrystal array emission. Credit: Sampson Wilcox, MIT RLE
A new technique produces perovskite nanocrystals right where they’re needed, so the exceedingly delicate materials can be integrated into nanoscale devices.
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign engineers have developed a new breed of display screens that use flexible fins, varying temperatures and liquid droplets that can be arranged in various orientations to create images. The control is precise enough to achieve complex motions, like simulating the opening of a flower bloom. Image courtesy Sameh Tawfick
Engineers inspired by the morphing skins of animals like chameleons and octopuses
Say goodby to the good old days of the incandescent light bulb, which required frequent changes leading to risk of injury.
Say goodby to the good old days of the ordinary household incandescent light bulb, which required frequent changes, leading to risk of injury.
South Africa’s Shoprite Group is expanding its key environmental programs as part of its sustainability strategy. One of the major components of this strategy is the accelerated rollout of solar PV at its supermarkets and distribution centers, as well as the replacement of old lighting infrastructure with new LED lightbulbs. … [continued]
When it comes to electric vehicles, many people likely assume that LED headlights are a standard feature. After all, EVs are cutting-edge, energy-efficient vehicles that prioritize sustainability and technological advancements — so it only makes sense that they would come equipped with the latest lighting technology, right? However, this assumption … [continued]
This is a story of electricity beating gas. In 2021, we decided to fix up a duplex in Cleveland, Ohio, that has been in our family for 75 years. After some serious aesthetic and sustainable improvements, we unintentionally ran a multi-year case study in which we experimented with two identical … [continued]
