Researchers discover way to make lithium-ion battery components out of recycled glass bottles
Scientists have found a way to develop nanosilicon anodes, essential components of lithium-ion batteries, using recycled glass bottles. According to researchers at the University of California, Riverside’s Bourns College of Engineering, silicon anodes can store significantly more energy compared with traditional graphite anodes. However, the research team noted that the expansion and shrinkage that take place during the […]

Dual purpose décor: Researchers have developed a biodegradable paper-based environmental sensor that could provide bio-solar power in your wallpaper
A team of international researchers at the Imperial College London, the University of Cambridge, and the Central Saint Martins has developed a paper-based, two-in-one solar bio-battery and solar panel that are laden with living cyanobacteria. The scientists explained that cyanobacteria are photosynthetic microorganisms that have been living on Earth for billions of years. According to the research team, these microorganisms may have greatly contributed to […]

What do tears, milk and egg whites have in common? They are now a renewable source of energy
Applying pressure to a protein found in tears, milk, and egg whites has been shown to generate electricity, according to a study published in Applied Physics Letters. A team of researchers from the Bernal Institute at the University of Limerick in Ireland has recently discovered that electricity can be produced by pressing crystals of lysozyme, a protein that can be found in abundance in egg […]

Could evaporation provide power and conserve water supplies? Scientists are exploring how to harvest a new renewable energy source
Evaporation shows potential as another source of renewable energy and may one day be harnessed to power nearly three-quarters of the United States, a study in the Nature Communications journal has revealed. A team of researchers at the Columbia University has found that lakes and water reservoirs in the U.S. could generate as much as 325 gigawatts of power, which equates […]

Solar panels made with toxic lead may soon be able to use “green” element BISMUTH instead
A recent study published in Advanced Materials revealed that the so-called “green” element bismuth may be incorporated to solar panels in the future without the risk of potentially detrimental effects on human, animal, and environmental health. In the previous years, silicon has been the preferred material in developing solar cells. However, researchers noted that while silicon was highly effective […]
