PM Nguyen Tan Dung has decided to establish the National Council for Atomic Energy Development and Application, which will be led by the Minister of Science and Technology.

On March, 26 in Hanoi, the Department of Science, Technology and Environment under the Ministry of Construction and the Energy Conservation Center of Ho Chi Minh City (ECC HCMC) co-organized the award ceremony of "the first energy-efficient architecture" competition.

With the development of nanotechnology, researchers using nanowires in solar cells are finding that solar cell efficiency limits may be higher than they previously thought possible.

Improving the legal system on nuclear safety and security is of national importance, the Ministry of Science and Technology has emphasised.

A new model to explore how new ideas affect fuel consumption in large diesel engines has been developed by a world-leading research group in tribology, at Luleå University of Technology.

The Hoa Binh provincial Science & Technology Analysis, Testing and Service Center has received the technology transfer to implement the project on using solar energy and diesel engine to generate electricity for remote areas.

PUNE: A solar research and technology park may come up at Chakan.

Regional German transport operator Rhein-Neckar-Verkehr GmbH (RNV) is set to carry out a pilot project to test the viability of wireless inductive charging technology of electric buses.

Researchers from the Vienna University of Technology, together with colleagues from the U.S.

Scientists based at Empa, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, have set a new efficiency record for thin-film copper indium gallium (di)selenid (or CIGS) based solar cells on flexible polymer foils, reaching an efficiency of 20.4 percent

“We chose GE because of its proven technology and the extensive experience of its project teams. The 2.5-megawatt technology offers the efficiency, availability and energy performance that will safeguard our success,” said CEZ project manager Ondřej Šafář in the release.

“This increase in module efficiency, coupled with our thin-film technology’s real-world yield advantage when compared to crystalline silicon PV, results in higher energy density and lower levelized cost of energy (LCOE).”

On 24th November 2012, HCM City Energy Conservation Center (ECC HCM) held a seminar on Green Architecture to share useful information about green buildings and to discuss measures to promote the construction of green projects in Vietnam in the office of HCM Department of Science and Technology.

The Vietnamese Ministry of Science and Technology and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) hosted a seminar in Hanoi on December 5 to review infrastructure for the development of nuclear power in Vietnam.

In three studies published in the current issue of Technology and Innovation – Proceedings of the National Academy of Inventors, innovators unveil creative technologies that could change our sources of energy, change our use of energy, and change our lives.

As many industries and businesses have not recognized that energy labeling is a competitive advantage, they have not been determined to renovate technology, nor to improve product quality. They fear that the investment will increase production costs.

To celebrate World Toilet Day on November 19, researchers at Columbia University's Engineering School, working in Ghana with Waste Enterprisers Ltd., the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), and the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly, are launching a pilot facility to convert fecal sludge into biodiesel fuel, thereby addressing a ubiquitous societal problem and concurrently producing renewable, cost-effective sustainable energy.

Wetlands are estimated to account for around six percent of the earth’s surface and a new Plant-Microbial Fuel Cell technology developed at Wageningen University & Research in The Netherlands could see some of these areas become a viable source of renewable energy.

Ontario, Canada has carved out a niche for itself as a hub of green technology. One of the latest clean tech innovations to come out of that province is DARWIND5, a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT).
