Rice University researchers are describing a new way to harvest solar energy with a new paper this week in the journal Science. Naomi Halas, Rice’s Stanley C. Moore Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering, the paper’s lead researcher explains,  “We’re merging the optics of nanoscale antennas with the electronics of semiconductors. There’s no practical way […]

From a blog in Europe at 22passi.blogspot.com comes some insightful information about the Rossi ECat cold fusion reactor. The source of the information is Professor Christos Stremmenos.  Professor Stremmenos began his scientific studies at the University of Bologna in the 1950s and continued to live, work and marry in Italy until his retirement. The professor […]

Geoffrey Styles, Managing Director of GSW Strategy Group, and the writer of energyoutlook.blogspot.com has came upon more information about the effort to look even deeper for hydrocarbons like natural gas and oil. A leader in a still quiet, but well funded and ambitious project is Jesse Ausubel of Rockefeller University (Of fame from his theory […]

From out of Norway comes a new take on the heat pump.  Scientists at the University of Stavanger in Norway (USN) are testing an entirely new kind of heat pump. While heat pumps used today typically last 10 to 20 years, the Norwegian scientists are testing an entirely new kind of heat pump. Today’s heat […]

University of Michigan electrical engineers have built a piezoelectric generator that can harness energy from vibrations and convert it to electricity with five to 10 times greater efficiency and power than other devices in its class. It’s smaller than a penny. The UM team has built a complete system that integrates a high-quality energy-harvesting piezoelectric […]
