| Peptoid nanosheets at the oil-water interface Posted: 03 Sep 2014 10:33 AM PDT Researchers have developed peptoid nanosheets that form at the interface between oil and water, opening the door to increased structural complexity and chemical functionality for a broad range of applications. |
| Changing temperature powers sensors in hard-to-reach places Posted: 03 Sep 2014 09:17 AM PDT Researchers have taken inspiration from a centuries-old clock design and created a power harvester that uses natural fluctuations in temperature and pressure as its power source. |
| Wind energy cuts the electricity bill Posted: 03 Sep 2014 07:56 AM PDT The promoting of renewable energy is at the heart of the current debate on energy policy. From an economic perspective, the question focuses on determining the cost of the feed-in tariff systems. A new study tackles this question empirically, and concludes that wind energy continues to produce greater savings than what its incentives amount to, while photovoltaic solar technologies are still in the development phase. |
| Ethanol fireplaces: The underestimated risk Posted: 03 Sep 2014 06:17 AM PDT Ethanol fireplaces are becoming more and more popular. However, they are not only highly combustible -- in the past, severe accents have occurred repeatedly with decorative fireplaces. The devices also pollute the air in the rooms. |
| New synthesis method may shape future of nanostructures, clean energy Posted: 02 Sep 2014 12:12 PM PDT A team of physicists has published new nanoscience advances that they and other scientists say make possible new nanostructures and nanotechnologies with huge potential applications ranging from clean energy and quantum computing advances to new sensor development. |
