The next Olympic Games, which will be held in the year 2012 at the Olympic Park in the city of London, will definitely leave its crowd spellbound with some of its jaw dropping structures built at the Olympic arena. “The Cloud” is one of the structures that will mesmerize the tourists. It is a 400 [...]

Yet another airship is getting ready to flutter across the English Channel to prove its competence, but this time it’s the sun propelling it. A group of engineering and tech students from France has been working on Project Sol’R have surfaced a solar blimp, which they expect to fly across the English Channel.

The dirigible measuring [...]

These days, germs, bacteria, and viruses are not all discarded and deemed harmful, especially the ancient kind. In fact, they are being used to ‘assemble the electronics of the future.’
Viruses are now used as building components of solar cells and other gadgets. The type of germs used is called ‘bacteriophages’ or ‘bacteria eaters.’ They are [...]

John A. Rogers who is an eminent professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Illinois has devised a way to trap the solar energy in better ways. Until now, one could only harness solar energy through solid and fixed panels that absorbed solar energy, which would later be converted to other forms [...]

Imagine what would happen to the future of technology if you could avail of solar cells that are so easy to manufacture that they are literally printed out like money. Apparently, this isn’t some fascinating sci-fi idea but is actually possible now.
CSIRO, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, has come up with a way [...]

The University of New South Wales’ ARC Photovoltaic Centre of Excellence previously held a record for the highest solar cell efficiency of 24.7% which has been lately modified by the same centre to 25%. This is just one among the six records achieved by the newly devised cells. With this the International Standard of measurement [...]
