Hemp, a plant from the cannabis family, could be used to build carbon-neutral homes of the future to help combat climate change and boost the rural economy, say researchers at the University of Bath.
Pat Coady is one of the many professionals at Painters
USA, Inc. Pat has developed a program to instruct building owners and managers
about green coatings. This course enables them to receive CPD's (Continuing
Professional Development Points).
Engineers at Oregon State University have discovered a way to use an ancient life form to create one of the newest technologies for solar energy, in systems that may be surprisingly simple to build compared to existing s...
Despite the economic uncertainty, the 10th
UTECH Europe event, held in Maastricht, from March 31 to April 2, was rated
a success, with attendance far exceeding the expectations of all exhibitors.
Hotel bathtubs need to be considerably more robust than their domestic equivalents. Constant use by a succession of hotel guests subjects them to particularly high stresses, including the use of heavy-duty detergents. Th...
IMEC, the Belgian nanoelectronics
research institute, has announced that it has begun expanding its Leuven campus
facilities, starting with 2,800 square-meters of research labs and including
the extension of its state-of-the-art clean room. With this extension, IMEC
will expand its research on sub-32nm CMOS, low-cost and high-efficiency solar
cells, and biomedical electronics.
A new high-energy cathode material that can greatly increase the safety and extend the life-span of future lithium batteries has been developed through the close international collaboration of researchers led by the U.S....
A new study of silver niobate not only opens the door to engineering improved
electronic components for smaller, higher performance wireless devices, but
also serves as an example of understanding how subtle nanoscale features of
a material can give rise to major changes in its physical properties.
Improving the efficiency of commercially available light bulbs
-- even a little -- could translate into dramatically lower energy usage if
implemented widely.
Long touted as an energy-saving alternative for home lighting, compact fluorescent
lightbulbs (CFLs) now have the potential to be even more efficient, as well
as dimmable, thanks to research at Queen's
University.
