Triboelectric Nanogenerator Technology Breakthrough — Power Output Density Boosted By A Factor Of 100,000

The technology of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG) has come a long way since its unveiling only two years ago, based on the creator’s most recent press release. Since then, the technology has had its power output density boosted by a factor of over 100,000 — the power output now reaches up to, impressively, 300 Watts per

Solar-Powered Toilet That Can Turn Waste Into Biochar

A toilet that can transform human waste into biochar, powered by nothing but the sun, has been developed by researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder. The new technology was designed to address some of the sanitation issues that are common in many developing countries — and thereby help to protect local water supplies, and

Cosmologists Find ‘Tell-Tale’ Energy Pattern In The Cosmic Background, Confirming The Inflated Universe Theory

In the scientific discipline known as cosmology — the study of the origin and evolution of our universe — finding “hard” evidence in support of theory is often hard to come by; scientists must look for subtle indictors or traces of cosmological forces that act over vast regions of space, or, ones that may have [&hellip

Paris Smog Can Take Cars Off The Streets

Travelers cherish the city of Paris for the charm of its luxurious springtime, but maybe not this year. Since last Wednesday, air pollution in Paris and 22 suburbs has topped the safe limit for PM10 particulates (80 mg/cubic meter). The Paris smog readings hit 180 mg on Friday, more than twice the accepted safe limit. This [&hellip

Lithium-Air Batteries Take Step Forward

The technology of lithium-air batteries continues to move forward — with recent work by researchers from Mie University in Japan showing that one of the primary issues with the technology can be effectively addressed — improving the design, to limit the damage caused at the lithium/water interface, without decreasing the battery power. Their new findings […]
