| Atmospheric carbon dioxide used for energy storage products Posted: 02 Dec 2014 11:06 AM PST Researchers have discovered a fascinating new way to take some of the atmospheric carbon dioxide that's causing the greenhouse effect and use it to make an advanced, high-value material for use in energy storage products.  |
| Missing ingredient in energy-efficient buildings: Trained people Posted: 02 Dec 2014 10:24 AM PST More than one-third of new commercial building space includes energy-saving features, but without training or an operator's manual many occupants are in the dark about how to use them.  |
| Inexpensive hydrolysable polymer developed Posted: 02 Dec 2014 09:38 AM PST Through some inventive chemistry, scientists have developed a class of 'hindered urea bond-containing polymeric materials' or 'poly(hindered urea)s' -- cheap polymers that can be designed to degrade over a specified time period, making them potentially useful in biomedical and agricultural applications.  |
| Nanotubes may restore sight to blind retinas Posted: 02 Dec 2014 09:38 AM PST Retinal degeneration is one of the most worrisome dangers in the aging process. Now researchers have made an important technological breakthrough towards a prosthetic retina that could help alleviate conditions that result from problems with this vital part of the eye.  |
| Saving energy with nanotechnology insulation Posted: 01 Dec 2014 01:30 PM PST Filling vacuum insulation panels with new, low-cost materials could produce hundreds of millions of dollars in energy savings, experts say.  |
