FTL announcement last week that, thanks to Terra Firma Capital Group, Josh Mailman Foundation, and private investors, now have the dollars needed to develop flexible solar cells, including his vision for creating PowerMods – structures covered in flexible solar cells that can be used in places where the solar panels do not normally work, such [...]
The Japanese National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Mitsubishi, and Tokki Corporation have developed a smart way to integrate solar cells into our lives, making them a little more friendly for the eyes. Meet the new leaves in a technological version of the plants home. The unit is a plant similar to a [...]
Restricting large subsidies, providing solar energy to the masses – from home to their cell phones – requires a greater fall in the cost of technology. Last week, a group of researchers in Australia and China announced they had moved towards the “holy grail of cost-effectiveness of solar energy.” According to Professor Max Lu, University [...]
I am currently writing in one of those rubber keyboards that can be rolled up and connect to a Sony UX Micro PC. But this new idea of an expanding electronic screen is powered by solar energy completely discards my rubber keyboard. Two Japanese companies, Mitsubishi Chemicals and Sumitomo Chemical are working in expandable electronics [...]
Currently we are experiencing a boom in the LED technology, but there is a new generation of LEDs called OLED which is nothing more than organic LEDS. Currently, the OLED (organic LED) is used in mobile phones and MP3 screens, but the way to improve this technology is still long. The OLED is very versatile [...]
Buro North, a design firm located in Melbourne, Australia, has joined Victorian Eco-Innovation Lab (VEIL) to develop this exciting solar shade collection called “Solar Shade” for Australian primary schools. The concept of Solar Shade is part educational and part functional. Of course, used in groups, Solar Shade provides a shade that generates energy for the [...]
Why is it that the spies always get the best inventions? For example James Bond would kill for a watch that shoots lasers, a submarine car or an exploding pen. Not to protect the Queen and country, but to show off to his friends on Friday nights out. But in real life, the intelligence services [...]
KOBE, the first cargo ship to use solar energy to help with the devices related to the engine to operate. The ceremony for Auriga Leader, a company created jointly by Nippon Yusen KK and Nippon Oil Corp, in an effort to reduce carbon dioxide emissions through the use of solar energy, was held at the [...]
