The pursuit of energy efficiency is a constant endeavor in our modern world, and sometimes the best solutions come from the humblest sources. In this case, a team of scientists turned to the natural world to uncover how oscillating systems synchronize to maximize energy use.

Europe's largest nature conservation charity will install a wind turbine at its national headquarters in Bedfordshire that will generate enough electricity to power more than half of its 127 UK locations.

Trong nghiên cứu vừa công bố trên tạp chí Nature nanotechnology, các khoa học tại Đại học Aalto cho biết rằng họ đã chế tạo thành công tế bào năng lượng mặt trời sillicon đen với hiệu suất chuyển hóa 22,1%.

On February 7th in Hanoi, the Ministry of Industry and Trade organized Earth Hour 2015 Launching Campaign at Thong Nhat Park with the technical support of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and the Danish Embassy in Vietnam.

MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine Solar Power Alliance (PSPA) and the World Wide Fund (WWF) for Nature Philippines are working together to promote solar energy to Filipino households and businesses.

Augwind, một công ty mới thành lập ở Israel đã nhận được khoản đầu tư lớn từ một trong những hãng đầu tư năng lượng tái tạo hàng đầu Israel Capital Nature

Renewable energy solutions like wind and solar operate on nature's timetable. When the sun blazes or when the breeze blows, power is plentiful -- but not necessarily at the moments when consumers need it, like on a hot, calm summer night.

Nature generously gives a gift for the humans on this earth a source of "free" fuel, a tremendous renewable energy resource. It is the wind, or wind energy.

The average U.S. citizen is willing to pay 13 percent more for electricity in support of a national clean-energy standard (NCES), according to Yale and Harvard researchers in Nature Climate Change.

The discovery is an important development in the worldwide effort to mimic the way plants make fuel from sunlight, a key step in creating a green energy economy. It was reported last week in Nature Materials by theorist Jens Norskov of the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University and a team of colleagues led by Ib Chorkendorff and Soren Dahl at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).

Theo chuyên san Nature Nanotechnology, các nhà khoa học thuộc trường Bách khoa Lausanne (Thụy Sĩ) vừa nghiên cứu thành công một loại vật liệu từ khoáng vật molybdenite (MoS2) có thể giúp chế tạo ra các bộ vi mạch nhỏ hơn và tiết kiệm điện hơn nhiều so với hiện nay.

In conventional photoelectrochemical cells, sunlight is converted into electricity and an electrolyte is used to move electrons which creates a current. The problem is that these cells have chromophores, which are light-absorbing dyes that degrade after being exposed to sunlight. But with self-repairing solar cells, this would no longer be an issue. To create these new solar cells, the Purdue research team utilized two crucial elements needed to make this technology imitate nature, which was molecular recognition and thermodynamic metastability. This allows the system to be dissolved and reassembled on a regular basis, replacing photo-damaged dyes continuously.

Solar cells currently used are mostly bulky and made from silicon and other non-recyclable materials, hence they’re not as green as they should be. Mimicking nature might be a solution to this problem. More exactly, North Carolina State University researchers have prototyped a water-based solar cell, mimicking the functioning of a leaf, to produce electricity.

The King of Malaysia presented the trophy to the grand winner David Wendell, left, at the Earth Awards at Marlboro House in London on Thursday. David Wendell wants to revolutionize renewable energy by taking a page out of nature’s book, and improving it. His new technology captures carbon and transforms it into sugar — something that plants do naturally — more efficiently using artificial photosynthetic foam.

In H.G. Wells’s The War of the Worlds, tiny organisms found in nature save the world from powerful high tech invaders that have overwhelmed mankind’s powerful high tech weapons, and in a classic case of life imitating art, there they go again.

Một nhóm các nhà khoa học quốc tế do Trường ĐH Oxford đứng đầu đã “nhìn” được vào khối vật chất dày đặc và nóng ở trung tâm các hành tinh, nhờ vậy đã hiểu biết sâu hơn về những phản ứng nhiệt hạch có kiểm soát. Toàn bộ công trình được công bố trên Tạp chí Nature Physics.

Là một phần trong bộ sưu tập Signature Series, laptop này được tối ưu hoá về kích thước, trọng lượng cũng như hiệu năng, đồng thời vẫn giữ thiết kế bắt mắt với công nghệ sơn Textured Finishing 4 màu độc đáo.
