| Solar energy: Dyes help harvest light Posted: 30 Jul 2014 07:40 AM PDT A new dye-sensitized solar cell absorbs a broad range of visible and infrared wavelengths. Dye-sensitized solar cells rely on dyes that absorb light to mobilize a current of electrons and are a promising source of clean energy. Scientists have now developed zinc porphyrin dyes that harvest light in both the visible and near-infrared parts of the spectrum.  |
| New catalyst converts carbon dioxide to fuel Posted: 30 Jul 2014 06:40 AM PDT Scientists have synthesized a catalyst that improves their system for converting waste carbon dioxide into syngas, a precursor of gasoline and other energy-rich products, bringing the process closer to commercial viability.  |
| Superman's solar-powered feats break a fundamental law of physics Posted: 30 Jul 2014 06:38 AM PDT It goes without saying that Superman can accomplish some pretty spectacular feats. But according to students, the Man of Steel actually achieves the impossible – by breaking the fundamental physics law of conservation of energy.  |
| From finding Nemo to minerals: What riches lie in the deep sea? Posted: 29 Jul 2014 07:11 AM PDT As fishing and the harvesting of metals, gas and oil have expanded deeper and deeper into the ocean, scientists are drawing attention to the services provided by the deep sea, the world's largest environment.  |
