US project seeks to make the family car a cash cowSan Diego, California (AFP) Feb 18, 2010 US researchers on Thursday unveiled a project to transform the family car from gas guzzler to cash cow, using it to store power for the electricity grid and give it back as needed - in exchange for money. At the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, researchers showed off the first electric car that can be connected to a power grid and earn money for its driver. "This is the first vehicle that's ever been paid to participate in the grid - the first proof of ... read more |

Making Flexible Solar Cells With Silicon Wire ArraysPasadena CA (SPX) Feb 18, 2010 Using arrays of long, thin silicon wires embedded in a polymer substrate, a team of scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has created a new type of flexible solar cell that enhances the absorption of sunlight and efficiently converts its photons into electrons. The solar cell does all this using only a fraction of the expensive semiconductor materials required by conventional solar cells. "These solar cells have, for the first time, surpassed the conventional light-trapp ... read more |
