The life of the people living in the areas that are short of water may improve in the near future thanks to a novel system of water purification designed by Spectra Watermakers. Called “Solar Cube,” the system is based on wind powered purification units.
The “Solar Cube” was designed supply the US Army with pure water [...]

A new 3D solar cell that would revolutionize the solar industry have been designed. The amazing thing about the news is that the inventor of the novel solar panel is a 12-year-old student from Beaverton, Oregon that believes his 3D solar cell will bring solar power to a higher place.
“A Highly-Efficient 3-Dimensional Nanotube Solar Cell” [...]

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 [...]

I already knew that most of the structures of the future will be green, but I didn’t expect to see a green dome like this. It’s not that domes can’t be or shouldn’t be green, it’s just that this one looks like it was designed for a circus.

As you can see from the pictures, the [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

We all know how much global warming affects the environment and that we need to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. The best solution is solar power which is already user in many countries around the world, but for the moment our technology can’t use this huge source of power at its full potential. Researcher [...]
