A new press release has revealed that an ExxonMobil and Princeton University research partnership has finalized its decisions on the 5 projects that will be receiving funding through the joint initiative. Generally, the winners are focusing on: organic solar photovoltaics; second-life EV batteries; Arctic sea ice modeling; plasma physics; the impact … [continued]
$963,389 was recently awarded to Princeton University to develop longer-lasting, rechargeable, alkaline batteries for electric vehicles. The money is from a Department of Energy (DOE) grant. If this project is successful, electric vehicles could have cheaper batteries that last even longer. Without a doubt, they would help the EV industry to … [continued]
We’ve been covering this issue for awhile now. It’s a big deal. It’s nice to see the Ivy Leagues are now dedicating a bit of ink for this story, and it’s even better to see such a high-level group pulled together to discuss such an important topic in an open … [continued]
Organic solar cells have received a big boost to their efficiency thanks to a new device designed by Princeton University. The newly designed, cheap, flexible plastic device more than triples the efficiency of organic solar cells. The new device is essentially a ‘sandwich’ of nanostructured metal and plastic that … [continued]
A recent telephone poll of 1,003 Americans conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates and commissioned by America Bikes finds that 83% of Americans think bike-ped funding should be increased or, at the least, maintained. 47% stated that current funding levels should be increased. “From this day forward, we can say with … [continued]
This is one of the coolest stories I’ve seen in awhile. It was shared with me by one of CleanTechnica’s great readers on our Contact page, but I couldn’t get to it for awhile. Luckily, as I started writing on it, I found out that the technology and its 19-year-old inventor just got a $275,000 boost!
