Marine energy takes off in the U.K.Edinburgh, Scotland (UPI) Mar 17, 2009 Marine energy projects have been jump-started in Scotland and Northern Ireland in a bid to power the United Kingdom's homes with energy from the sea. The Crown Estate this week granted 10 project licenses to companies committed to build wave and tidal power plants generating up to 1.2 gigawatts of electricity - roughly the capacity of a large nuclear power plan - within 10 years. "The U.K. has the technological lead, the experience and some of the best natural resources in the world, e ... read more |

Washington DC (SPX) Mar 17, 2010Metallic glasses are emerging as potentially useful materials at the frontier of materials science research. They combine the advantages and avoid many of the problems of normal metals and glasses, two classes of materials with a very wide range of applications. For example, metallic glasses are less brittle than ordinary glasses and more resilient than conventional metals. Metallic glasse ... more  
Sao Paulo, Brazil (SPX) Mar 17, 2010The announcement that Brazil's 10 millionth Flex-Fuel vehicle was built yesterday, made by the country's National Association of Vehicle Manufacturers (Anfavea), is a milestone for the industry and the country. It should encourage automakers to invest more in the global dissemination of what has been accomplished in Brazil, as well as in their countries of origin. This was the assessment of the ... more  
Tokyo (AFP) March 16, 2010Japanese electronics giant Sanyo said Tuesday it had opened two "solar parking lots" in Tokyo where 100 electric hybrid bicycles can be recharged from sunlight-powered panels. The system uses lithium-ion batteries to charge 100 of Sanyo's "eneloop" bikes, with enough power left over to also illuminate the parking lot with LED lights at night. The concept is a "completely independent and ... more |

Lithium-Ion Anode Uses Self-Assembled Nanocomposite Materials To Increase CapacityAtlanta GA (SPX) Mar 16, 2010 A new high-performance anode structure based on silicon-carbon nanocomposite materials could significantly improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries used in a wide range of applications from hybrid vehicles to portable electronics. Produced with a "bottom-up" self-assembly technique, the new structure takes advantage of nanotechnology to fine-tune its materials properties, addressing the shortcomings of earlier silicon-based battery anodes. The simple, low-cost fabrication technique was des ... read more |
