| Net-zero energy test house exceeds goal; ends year with energy to spare Posted: 01 Jul 2014 03:38 PM PDT The NIST net-zero energy test house in suburban Washington, D.C., not only absorbed winter's best shot, it came out on top, reaching its one-year anniversary on July 1 with enough surplus energy to power an electric car for about 1,440 miles.  |
| Solar panels light the way from carbon dioxide to fuel Posted: 01 Jul 2014 02:01 PM PDT Researchers have devised an efficient method for harnessing sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into a potential alternative fuel known as formic acid. The transformation from carbon dioxide and water to formic acid was powered by a commercial solar panel.  |
| Bolstering batteries with nanotubes Posted: 01 Jul 2014 11:29 AM PDT Researchers are turning to extremely tiny tubes and rods to boost power and durability in lithium-ion batteries, the energy sources for cell phones, laptops, and electric vehicles. If successful, the batteries will last longer and perform better, leading to a cost advantage for electric vehicles.  |
| Supercomputer tackles grid challenges Posted: 01 Jul 2014 11:28 AM PDT 'Big data' is playing an increasingly big role in the renewable energy industry and the transformation of the nation's electrical grid.  |
