It's expensive to build an electric car charging network, and California utilities want the government's help covering the tab. PG&E, SDG&E and Southern California Edison are requesting roughly $1 billion in funding to build both EV chargers...
Scientists at Stanford University and the Department of Energy have developed a way to make incredibly thin wires with extraordinary properties. Using diamondoids -- the smallest possible pieces of diamond -- the researchers have been able to build e...
The researchers who developed a process of using quantum mechanics to make electricity from heat have found that how to use same mechanism more feasible to the industry.The engineers recently...
Designed like a medium-sized apple, HandEnergy packs a magnetic rotor, a stator, a 1,000 mAh capacity battery, and has got a USB output port amazingly attached to it. Many of the mobile devices do...
You get a bill from your electricity provider every month laying out how much energy you used, but there's no easy way to get a breakdown of which appliances suck down the most juice. But the US Navy has partnered with MIT scientists to design a chea...
Fire has always been a must-have for campers but today the same is true for electricity! How else are you gonna snap those wilderness selfies or have an awesome soundtrack to your adventure? The Zen Stove aims to provide campers with both of these necessities.
The design utilizes regular butane gas but also includes a built-in electricity generating system that charges when you burn it. A socket between a heat module and cooling module generates electricity using the difference in temperature. The colder it is outside, the more electricity will be generated. This way, you can power or recharge all your portable devices to enhance your camping experience!
Using a membrane extract from spinach leaves, Israeli researchers have developed a bio-photo-electro-chemical (BPEC) cell device that produces electricity and hydrogen from water using sunlight.The...
Today on In Case You Missed It: University of Michigan researchers spent years creating a water-harnessing river turbine to create electricity, called the VIVACE. It's the first time electricity appears to be effectively generated in slower rivers...
Audiophiles are known for doing some pretty extreme things in their quest for 'purer' sound, such as buying headphones that cost as much as a good car or getting ridiculously overdone cables with little to no practical benefit. However, the Wall Str...
We all have an impact on the earth. Leaving behind our carbon footprint is something which is virtually unavoidable. Yet we can definitely find ways of minimizing it. Our fossil fuel consumption...
