A new, carbon-neutral thermocell could harvest waste heat from power stations and convert it into electricity. Researchers…
Many countries have turned to the planet’s forests to meet their need for renewable energy, burning wood chips and pellets produced at home or abroad in power stations to generate electricity. But a report…
Our nuclear reactors have reached the end of their lives, North Sea oil is running out, coal is dirty: Britain faces an energy crisis of rising demand and falling supply. In our Nuclear Futures series…
To paraphrase George Orwell: “All electricity is created equal, but some of its generating technologies are more equal than others”. This is a crucial point – emphasised but typically overlooked – in the…
Nanotubes are excellent conductors of heat and can generate electric currents. It’s a discovery that could allow fuel-coated…
Hybrid cars have been a fixture on our roads for a number of years but we could soon be seeing the development of hybrid…
A solar energy revolution is brewing that will put the coal and nuclear industries out of business. Solar is already reaching price parity with coal in many parts of Australia. In contrast to coal and…
Scientists have created a glucose-powered biofuel cell that is five to 10 times more powerful than existing cells and lasts weeks longer, paving the way for implanted medical devices that run on the body’s…
The protein structure that enables bacterial cells to transfer electrical charge has been discovered, potentially opening…
