It looks like graphene from above, but flip it on its side and this interesting material reveals a nanoscale sandwich of atoms in three distinct layers. That material would be molybdenum disulfide, and a research team from Rice University has just announced a new energy storage breakthrough based around the sponge-like characteristics of the three-layered

If you are among those of us who attribute your lingering back problems to the many years you spent schlepping a heavy backpack to school, this one is a little hard to get a handle on but it's for realz: a backpack that generates electricity while you walk. The

Our friends over at Renewable Energy World have tipped us to an epic battle that's brewing over DRECP, the proposed Desert Renewable Energy and Conservation Plan for California. This document, five years in the making, could severely curtail the development of utility scale solar power plants and wind farms on federal lands in California.

The magical $10 price barrier for LED light bulbs was crashed last year and today one of the main crashers has just come out with a brand new edition that pushes their initial price down even lower. That would be North Carolina's Cree, which has just informed us by email that the going rate for

It seems like only yesterday that the German solar company SolarWorld was leading the charge to pound China and Taiwan with solar tariffs for allegedly dumping cheap, government-subsidized solar cells on the US market. That action has touched off a slugfest among competing interests in the US solar industry, but apparently the Energy Department has

Now that the Army's ambitious Net Zero initiative has passed the pilot stage with flying colors, planners have been gearing up for the next steps. One of them involves expanding from a nine-part demonstration field to encompass scores of other Army facilities, but that's just for starters. Today we bring you an exclusive insider view

Shared publicly -Caltech and AMOLF partner up in new way to generate electrical charge from metal exposed to light...
We've been keeping tabs on the plasmonics scene for a while and we just got wind of an interesting new development from the Netherlands in partnership with Caltech. If the Netherlands connection doesn't exactly ring your bells, recall that Caltech is the institutional home of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is heavily invested in the

Weren't we just saying that like it or not, fuel cell electric vehicles are here to stay? CleanTechnica has logged in more nots than likes on the topic, but the fact remains that the Energy Department is still pumping wads of cash into hydrogen fuel cell R&D. The latest development is a $1 million competition,

If you are one of those people who smell the stench of bust behind today's fracking-fueled oil and gas boom, the Post Carbon Institute has an early Christmas present for you. In its latest report, the organization makes the case that US shale oil and gas reserves will peak and drop off rapidly, long before

According to Forbes, a married couple is the force behind the new 3D-printed graphene battery from Graphene 3D Lab. A spinoff of the similarly named company Graphene Laboratories, Inc., Graphene 3D Lab was formed to develop new high tech graphene based materials for 3D printing.
So, who cares who is married to whom? Being as how
