Vattenfall is one of the biggest energy company in Europe. The problem is that they produce coal-based energy which produces high amounts of CO2 that harm the environment and cause global warming. Now, thanks to a new project, Vattenfall will be able to produce coal-based energy without any CO2 emissions.
Seems pretty unbelievable but Lars Josefsson, [...]

Probably by now you already know that in the future fossil fuels will no longer be used as they harm our planet therefore researchers are trying to design cheaper and more efficient ways to harness renewable energies. Solar, wind and tidal power are the best solution for the moment and these were improved greatly during [...]

Scientists from the Kyushu University in Japan have designed a massive floating power plant that will combine photovoltaic arrays with windmills. This power plant will be deployed off-shore and it will measure 1.25 miles by 0.5 miles and preliminary tests showed that it’s possible and a new generator like this should be ready in about [...]

Well, it seems like not only the cars of the future will be powered by solar energy as two Japanese companies unveiled a project consisting of world’s first solar powered ship. Nippon Yusen KK and Nippon Oil Corp said the the ship will be just “partially solar-powered” thanks to the solar panels and each will [...]

A major solar cell breakthrough was achieved by Day4 Energy which now claims that its technology will improve the solar cell efficiency by 19% and in the same time the costs will be decreased by 25%. These new solar cells were developed thanks to the company’s R&D program and the key was the design of [...]

After all viruses are good for something as scientists from MIT, Cambridge have developed a battery which will be used to power a tiny electronic devices to better administer medicine. This tiny battery was created thanks to a genetically-engineered virus called M13 as they were looking for a virus that has negatively-charged amino-acids and which [...]

In the future, fossil fuels will be history. We don’t know yet when this will happen, but we hope it’s pretty soon as the planet is affected by global warming and pollution. So, if there will be no oil and coal, we need renewable energies like solar or wind power. Today, we will talk about [...]

I don’t know if you already knew that rubber materials cannot conduct electricity well and that metals do not stretch. However, a team of Japanese scientists from the University of Tokyo found a way to combine them and they developed a rubber material that conducts electricity.
They called it “e-skin” and they will apply it on [...]

Scientists have designed a transparent coating which is destined to protect the surface of an aircraft. This coating will keep down ice formation and will prevent corrosion on airplanes. Thanks to this discovery, the water will transform into bead-drops and will jump off the surface of an airplane.
This coating was created by a team led [...]

Blindness is a disease which affects million of people around the world and many scientists are trying to find ways of curing or preventing it. Although the medical research can be called “advanced”, until now there is no certain cure for blind people, but this can change thanks to researchers from the UC Davis.
Biomedical engineers [...]
