New catalyst may allow turbocharging of fuel cells
While efficient and environment-friendly, fuel cell technology has been slow to take off. But a game-changing catalyst offers to turbocharge the fuel cell’s electrochemical process, according to an article on NewsWise. The catalyst was developed by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology. It vastly accelerates the rate at which the cell processes oxygen to […]

Protecting eagles: Researchers develop detection and deterrent system to reduce wildlife casualties from wind turbines
Wind turbines have been used to generate wind power, which is generally regarded as clean energy. However, wind turbines have killed numerous bats and birds, including golden eagles and bald eagles, which are federally protected species. Researchers have come up with a solution to minimize these deaths in a study published in Wind Energy. The researchers have set up […]

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 […]

Green power dangers: Scientists review the downside of renewable energies
Renewable energy is a type of energy that can be collected from natural sources, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat. It is also believed to have a much lower environmental impact compared to conventional energy technology, and because of this governments continue to lean towards renewable energy sources. Apparently, its potential […]

Peer-to-peer energy breakthrough could allow solar and wind energy sources to be shared across entire communities during grid down blackouts
Some people who have solar panels on their roof are under the impression that they can use them to power their home in the case of an outage, but that simply is not the case. Homes do remain connected to the grid during outages, but the devices tasked with managing solar panels are normally turned […]
