Converting Sunlight To Cheaper Energy
Scientistsare working to convert sunlight to cheap electricity. They are workingwith new materials that can make devices used for converting sunlightto electricity cheaper and more efficient.
Polymer Electric Storage, Flexible And Adaptable
The proliferation of Solar,wind and even tidal electric generation and the rapid emergence ofhybrid electric automobiles demands flexible and reliable methods ofhigh-capacity electrical storage. Now materials scientists aredeveloping ferroelectric polymer-based capacitors that can deliverpower more rapidly and are much lighter than conventional batteries.
Solar Collector Could Change Asphalt Roads Into Renewable Energy Source
Scientists have found a way to use asphalt's heat-soaking property for an alternative Energy source by developing a Solar collector that could turn roads and parking lots into ubiquitous - and inexpensive sources of electricity and hot water.
Flexible Nanoantenna Arrays Capture Abundant Solar Energy
Researchers have devised an inexpensive way to produce plastic sheets containing billions of nanoantennas that collect heat Energy generated by the sun and other sources. The new technology is the first step toward a Solar Energy collector that could be mass-produced on flexible materials, say the researchers.
