Everyday surfaces such as windows and roof tiles could be used to generate energy after a team of scientists this week revealed plans to commercialise a spray-on solar cell that could be used on buildings and aircraft. Norwegian company EnSol and a team of scientists at the University of Leicester yesterday announced that they have successfully tested a new thin-film ... Read More »

Researchers are reporting advancements in “metamaterials,” used in such optical technology as ultra-powerful microscopes, computers and possibly an invisibility cloak, according to Purdue University . The university news service reported that metamaterial research often hits a snag because too much light is “lost” or absorbed by metals such as silver and gold contained in the metamaterials. This makes them impractical ... Read More »

Mesothelioma has long been linked to the inhalation and exposure to asbestos fibers and dust, so when scientists uncovered an additional potential cause for this incurable form of lung cancer, the unthinkable became a reality. According to researchers based out of the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars in Washington D.C., the early 90’s development of carbon nanotubes has been ... Read More »

Two teams of researchers lead by academics at London South Bank University (LSBU) have been awarded funding from the European Union to help develop innovative, environmentally friendly technology which will contribute towards the fight against climate change. The first project will examine ways to reduce energy use in the cold storage of food, reducing the impact of refrigeration on global ... Read More »
