Naval Research Lab Investigating Space-Based Solar Power
The Naval Research Lab has hitched a ride aboard the latest X-37B flight with a device designed to test the feasibility of space-based solar power.
3-D Zinc Sponge Could Wipe The Energy Storage Floor With Li-ion Batteries (CleanTechnica Interview)
A team of researchers from the Naval Research Laboratory is on to a new zinc-based alternative to lithium-ion batteries. The new research aims at enabling the Navy to expands its energy storage options. The new zinc battery could also makes its way into the EV market, providing manufacturers with a lighter, less expensive alternative to today’s crop of lithium-ion batteries.
Race For Space Solar Power Heats Up With Northrop Grumman, Caltech Partnership
A new space solar power venture aims to compete with fossil fuels — and Earth-based solar and wind could be in the crosshairs, too.
Underwater Photovoltaic Research from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory — Say What?
Apparently, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) is working on developing underwater photovoltaic solar technology. Maybe it’s just that I grew up on the beach in Southwest Florida and am a Pisces (fish), but I think this is completely wicked awesome. Here’s the full announcement from NRL: Scientists at the … [continued]
