Panel-powered car under development

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 07:42 AM PST

A car powered by its own body panels could soon be driving on our roads after a recent breakthrough in nanotechnology research. Researchers have developed lightweight 'supercapacitors' that can be combined with regular batteries to dramatically boost the power of an electric car.

US: State, federal role in electric utilities' labor issues should be reexamined

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 07:42 AM PST

As energy reliance grows, it may be time to re-examine the role of public utility commissions and the effect of the National Labor Relations Act in labor disputes regarding electric utilities, a researcher suggests in a new study.

Manipulating complex molecules by hand

Posted: 06 Nov 2014 07:40 AM PST

Scientists have developed a new control technique for scanning probe microscopes that enables the user to manipulate large single molecules interactively using their hands. Until now, only simple and inflexibly-programmed movements were possible. To test their method, the researchers 'stenciled' a word into a molecular monolayer by removing 47 molecules. The process opens up new possibilities for the construction of molecular transistors and other nanocomponents.
