To all the dangers coral reefs have to fight with, like pollution and urbanism, a recent study of the European Commission adds another one: sunscreen lotions tourists use on the beach. And this is not a minor problem, as many would think, because there aren’t just two or three people using them.
The study reveals that [...]
The generator makes electricity from residual industrial heat that regularly wastes. The obtained electricity is also very cheap, getting a price of three cents per kW/hr in payback period and about one penny after that. In the process are used patented pressure and heat recovery techniques and needs only 200 degrees Fahrenheit to start generating [...]
Sapphire Energy announced that they have successfully used a breakthrough process to produce renewable 91 octane green gasoline, crude oil, from CO2, sunlight and algae. Jason Pyle, CEO and co-founder of the group, stated that Sapphire’s aim is to become ‘the world’s leading producer of renewable petrochemical products’, and their new achievement places them one [...]
Shocking images of a lost village discovered at the Brazilian-Peruvian border display members of a lost tribe, with red and black painted bodies, aiming their bows at the helicopter that took the pictures. The National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) from Brazil stated they had known of the tribe of over 20 years, but they published the [...]
A new species of extremophiles (living creatures that have their growing environment in mediums hostile to other forms of life) has been discovered in Newfoundland, Canada, and they are deepest-dwelling organisms known so far.
The single-cell star is part of the Archaea group and subsists on methane pillows located under 2.8 miles of water and one [...]
A team of collaborating researchers from the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter and TU Delft brought proof that electrons produce the ‘Avalanche Effect’ in a certain type of semiconducting crystals. This effect, combined with the energy obtaining process via solar cells, could result in a high improvement in their output.
The solar cells technology seems [...]
Until now, scientists were unable to extract samples of pure human DNA from ancient skeletons, mostly because their contamination with the abundant modern DNA that came from the workers that took them to light.
All that has changed now, as Jorgen Dissing conducted a team of researchers from the University of Copenhagen in extracting authentic DNA [...]
A good way to teach the kids about global warming and the importance of replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy is to design something they like and understand. An interactive solar power installation was designed by Buro North for Australian primary school yards with many purposes like to generate electricity, teach kids about renewable energy [...]
