Best Solar Cell Ever: Graphene + Perovskite + Silicon
The killer solar cell combo of perovskite and graphene is about to shake off the laboratory dust and venture out into the field.
Electricity From Thin Air — Thermal Resonator From MIT Gets The Job Done
Researchers at MIT have created a thermal resonator, a device that can harvest electricity from changes in temperature. While early prototypes only generate a small amount of electricity, the potential for this technology is significant.
Has Samsung SDI Cracked The Graphene Battery Puzzle? New Study Raises Questions
Has Samsung SDI finally cracked the puzzle of how to commercialize graphene batteries? A new study published in the journal Nature raises some interesting questions on that count.
Coal-Killing Perovskite Solar Cell Problem Solved (Almost!) With Graphene
When two “wonder materials” of the solar energy age combine, good things happen. That’s the takeaway from new research that leverages graphene to create a more durable, efficient — and super cheap — perovskite solar cell.
Stunning Fisker EMotion Unveiled, “9 Minute” Charge Time
Henrik Fisker has taken the wraps off the new Fisker EMotion electric sedan he says will compete head to head with the Tesla Model S. Fisker made his reputation as an automotive designer and the new car is certainly easy on the eyes. He claims it can go 400 miles on a full battery charge and then recharge in just 9 minutes. Fisker originally promised to reveal the car in August but moved the date forward by two months.
Researchers Announce Sustainable Metals Processing, Electrodes From Scrap Metal
Researchers in Canada and China have discovered new ways to make sustainable metals and reclaim scrap metal for battery electrodes.
Spiderman Would Envy This Graphene-Enhanced Silkworm Thread
Competition for Spiderman: researchers create stronger, tougher, electricity-conducting silk by feeding graphene and carbon nanotubes to silkworms.
Common Bug Opens Door To Next-Gen Graphene Solar Cells
A new generation of lighter, cheaper solar cells and other electronic devices could all be thanks to a common soil dwelling bacteria.
Solar-Powered Graphene Evaporator Zaps Dirty Water … With Bacteria?!?
A new water desalination system brings graphene together with solar power and a natural biofoam produced by a bacteria that wine lovers love to hate.
