World Faces Air Pollution Threat, and Light Technology Could Help
MAINZ, Germany, March 5, 2020 — Air pollution is responsible for shortening people's lives worldwide on a scale far greater than wars and other forms of violence and than parasitic and vector-borne diseases such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, and smoking, according to a study published...
Mid-IR Lens Incorporates Waste Sulfur
TUCSON, Ariz., April 21, 2014 — Thin, inexpensive plastic lenses for IR imaging devices can be manufactured from waste sulfur generated by refining fossil fuels.
Lasers sought to map jet emissions
Mar 1, 2012 — Travelers concerned about the carbon footprint – or carbon trail, if you will – left behind by airplanes might be happy to hear about a British endeavor in which lasers could lead to greener jet engines. The project, called FLITES...
Photonic Sensors Help Keep Earth Clean, Green
Mar 1, 2012 — Spectroscopic, fiber optic sensing, and light detection and ranging (lidar) technologies increasingly are being employed in the wind and geothermal energy sectors; in making fossil fuel exploration, extraction and distribution as well as...
Faster Lasers Sought to Map Jet Engines
SOUTHAMPTON, England, Dec. 29, 2012 — A laser that will help better understand the combustion process in jet engines and reduce emissions and pollution is being developed as part of a research project at the University of Southampton’s Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC). ...
University solar farm is live PV test bed
SHEFFIELD, UK – This year’s summer solstice marked the launch of a solar farm project that will provide benchmark, real-world testing of photovoltaics (PVs) in northerly latitudes such as the UK. The Sheffield Solar Farm, a 70-m2 state-of-the-art installation...
Frog’s foam fashions fuel
Jun 7, 2010 — With the inevitable decline of fossil fuels, the race is on to discover renewable energy solutions. As an alternative, researchers from the University of Cincinnati have found a way to convert solar energy and carbon dioxide into sugars to create...
Venture capital goes green
Nov 1, 2009 — Over the past few decades, venture capitalists have had plenty of waves to ride: computer technology, biotechnology, dot-com technology and nanotechnology. For some of the waves, it was boom or bust – as was the case with the dot-com era – while...
Clemson's Ma Wins NSF Grant
May 20, 2009 — Clemson University assistant professor of mechanical engineering Lin Ma has been awarded a National Science Foundation CAREER Award to study turbulence-chemistry interactions using advanced laser imaging techniques. The $400,000 grant will fund the...
GE Named DoE Energy Center
NISKAYUNA, N.Y., May 19, 2009 – GE Global Research was named one of 46 new multimillion-dollar Energy Frontier Research Centers in the US by the Department of Energy. GE’s EFRC will focus on advanced energy storage technologies and the pursuit of a zero carbon emissions solution...
Clean, yes; green, maybe
Apr 1, 2009 — Solar energy is touted as a green and clean energy source, but that may be only in comparison to fossil fuels. Looking at the life cycle of solar energy, there are many areas in which it is not so green. Solar panels are made with potentially toxic,...
Particles Could Enable Tougher Encryption
Aug 1, 2008 — As we search for ways to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, solar cells have become ever more attractive. However, existing solar cells do not convert solar energy to electricity as efficiently as they could. A type of material called “quantum...
Solar Silicon Shortage
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., USA -- Power from the sun may help with the world’s energy crisis, but at the moment, the demand for solar power is resulting in a shortage of silicon. Global government mandates to reduce dependence on fossil fuels have resulted in an expanding solar...
A Cheaper Solar Cell Process Shows Promise
DELFT, the Netherlands -- An abundant resource, solar energy represents a possible alternative to burning fossil fuels for human energy consumption. The supply of fossil fuels is shrinking, and their continued use could negatively affect the environment. Dye-sensitized solar...
Lasers May Brighten the Solar Cell Market
Jun 1, 2007 — It is hard to ignore the many news stories about rising oil prices, higher energy costs, severe weather and concerns over global climate change. The emerging consensus is that we must reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and switch to cleaner forms...
Alternative Studied for Sensitizing TiO
2
to Visible Light
Apr 1, 2006 — To truly enable a transition to a global industrial system based on hydrogen rather than on fossil fuels will require the development of an efficient and environmentally friendly means of extracting hydrogen from feedstocks such as water. One...
