Here’s the weekly capsule that captures upcoming green technologies. Can you imagine installing solar panels by rolling them out, as you would do with a carpet? Roll-Array promises exactly that. Their flexible solar power system can be setup in two minutes flat.   Talking of solar power...

Using biomimicry researchers use 6 robots weighing less than half a pound each to tug a two ton car. Researchers from Stanford University may have had ants for inspiration when they designed their tiny uBots. The researchers have created tiny robots, each weighing less than half a pound, which in...

Researchers have developed a technique by which they can, in some instance by more than 90%, identify terrorists from the V sign they make in their propaganda videos. Terrorists who think covering themselves from head to toe will help them from getting caught by law enforcement agencies, are in for...

Miniaturized solid oxide fuel cells could significantly boost battery durability and performance. No matter how energy efficient a gadget is, it is ultimately limited by its energy source – the ever pervasive lithium ion batteries.   That is what we thought, until now. Researchers from the...

In a significant breakthrough that could effectively make gas fired power plants more effective, at the very least, scientists have GE have capitalized on the company’s core strengths and have cracked the twin problems that have been plaguing the planet since decades. For the last couple of...

The concept of reuse of batteries is gaining popularity especially among car manufacturers. More and more car manufacturers are looking to increase life of batteries by reusing them after they lose their ability to drive cars but still retain significant power for stationary use.

A yet another instance of Microsoft warming up to the Linux community under Satya Nadella. It was unthinkable that software giant Microsoft under Steve Ballmer who equated Linux with cancer would openly court the open source crowd.
