Eco Factor: Storing solar energy in the form of hydrogen for fuel cells. The current technology might have enabled us to install a solar plant right on our rooftops, but all that energy is of no use if there isn’t enough storage medium...

Eco Factor: Using solar energy to produce hydrogen. Researchers at MIT have announced that the technology developed by Nocera’s lab last year, a catalyst that can split water and store hydrogen, could soon meet realism as Nocera has formed a...

Eco Factor: Detecting the molecular model of cement, researchers at MIT try to design greener concrete. The dream for sky-touching structures wouldn't have come true without cement. However, the quest for taller structures also means a rise in...

Eco Factor: Panasonic’s Li-ion batteries to be used in MIT’s solar car for the Global Green Challenge. Panasonic Corporation has announced that the company will support the MIT Solar Vehicle Team in their participation of the Global Green...

Eco Factor: Zero-emission electric car doesn’t make its owner wait for hours for a recharge. While car manufacturers are trying hard to develop technology that would enable cars to recharge in minutes rather than hours, researchers over at MIT...

Eco Factor: Hi-tech bus stop powered by solar energy. A simple way to reduce your personal carbon footprint is making use of services such as buses and trains to go to your office and back home. However, tempting car owners to leave their luxuries.

Eco Factor: MIT researchers develop displays that use less than one-hundredth the power of conventional TV screens. Inspired by the masters of camouflage in the underwater world, cuttlefish, researchers at MIT are developing electronic ink...

Eco Factor: Energy-saving battery technology will enable lithium batteries to recharge in mere seconds. Portable batteries are the backbone of the technology-dependent world of today. Be it cars or portable gadgets that we rely on, so much is all..

Eco Factor: Car powered by solar energy developed by MIT. The oldest solar electric student team in America, MIT’s Solar Electric Vehicle Team, has unveiled their next-gen solar car known as the “Eleanor.” Costing a whopping $243,000, the...

Eco Factor: Recycled washing machine works without electricity. Recently we saw a team of students at MIT develop an energy harnessing shock absorber system that could provide electricity for your next-gen electric cars, and today we have another..
