Eco Factor: Energy saving springs made from carbon nanotubes could save energy for a longer period of time without any loss of performance. Researchers at MIT have suggested that carbon nanotubes, if used as springs could store energy in a more...

Eco Factor: Carbon nanotube-based photodiode betters the efficiency of solar cells. Researchers at the Cornell University have created the basic elements of a solar cell that they hope will lead to solar cells with much better efficiency. The...

'Clean, affordable energy to power the world' -- This is the challenge of MIT contributing towards the environment. Listed below are some examples of the MIT research projects that will be sponsored and developed by the Energy Research Council. * Solar..

Here is a new type of organic molecular transistor capable of sensing and responding to its chemical environment. Colin Nuckolls at Columbia University and colleagues at the Brookhaven National Laboratory have invented the device. It consists of...

Desalinating process of water, although a necessity, is also an expensive process. Another concern is the huge amount of energy the process consumes, as it is requird to produce large amounts of pressure. Here is a relief for the water desalination...
