Ring out the old year in fun fashion at a family-friendly New Year’s Eve party at the Theodore
Wirth Winter Recreation Area. The Wirth Winter Recreation Area is a perfect location for a
number of winter outdoor activities, including snowboarding, cross-country skiing and tubing
for kids and adults alike.
This is THE solar project in South Eastern Australia. The massive tube will stand higher than the Eiffel Tower and be surrounded by a wide skirt of glasshouse type structures. Heat from the sun will be trapped on the underside of this skirt and its only way of escape would be up the tower — …
Nanoparticle “inks” may soon replace the conventional solar panel systems we see on rooftops
and empty fields. University of Texas engineers hope to cut costs to 1/10th of the current manufacturing process for solar cells. The current solar cell production procedure makes it difficult
for the industry to break past the competition (fossil fuels). But with the efforts and advancements
in nanotechnology, the photovoltaic industry may soon enough find itself in the forefront of world energy production.
The eastern state of Brandenburg, Germany, has something to offer the world in terms of solar energy production. Lieberose, once a military training ground, is now home to the world’s largest solar power project, consisting of 560,000 solar modules. As a result of the project, the area has now been cleaned up without draining local …
The verdict is in, the world’s first printable batteries have been invented by a team of German scientists. The new batteries are less than one millimeter thick, can be produced in large quantities at a fraction of conventional battery costs and weighs less than one gram. Applications range from integration into bank cards to items …
Neighbors of a four-block inner city park in Baltimore, MD, are revitalizing this previously vibrant area by founding Friends of Mount Vernon Place. Citizens organized clean-up days, a flower market and a book festival. Through their efforts, the place is now referred to as the “heart of Baltimore.” They have redirected green efforts of global …
Stanford engineers have built upon the work of German physicist Gustav Mie over a century after his mathematical derivations that explain why colors in stained glass exhibit brilliancy when placed under sunlight. The Stanford team has determined how to improve light absorption efficiency in nanowires made of germanium semiconductors. This may in turn prove to …

A group of German firms has collaborated to launch what is to be the largest solar energy project of its kind. The project, termed Desertec, aims to construct several solar thermal electric power plants throughout North Africa and parts of the Middle East. Ultimately, the project will supply electricity to European households using energy generated …

In just a few short years, homeowners will have the ability to power their entire home with the use of solar panel systems. Solar energy will also be able to produce both hydrogen and oxygen from water, thus powering household fuel cells. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is currently looking for marketplace acceptance of …
