Community Solar Gardens on the Rise!
Would You Pay for Solar on Someone Else’s Land? Community Solar Gardens on the Rise With even mainstream home builders offering solar options, and some tantalizing hints that solar could be as cheap as coal by 2015, interest in solar for homeowners looks set to rise in coming years. But what about renters, or those [...]
Water = Fuel
New alloy could split water to make fuel A team of Kentucky scientists has found a way to ‘tweak’ an inexpensive semiconductor to generate hydrogen from water using sunlight. Through theoretical computations, they’ve demonstrated that an alloy formed by a two percent substitution of antimony in gallium nitride has the right electrical properties to enable [...]
Tectonic Weaponry
Pentagon Quake Nightmare: Fukushima on the Mississippi In May, the federal government simulated an earthquake so massive, it killed 100,000 Midwesterners instantly, and forced more than 7 million people out of their homes. At the time, National Level Exercise 11 went largely unnoticed; the scenario seemed too far-fetched — states like Illinois and Missouri are [...]

Crystalline Water
“What we call life is the natural result of the accumulation of liquid water.” -Daniel Vitalis Are you ready to understand water and life itself in a completely new fascinating way? Then keep reading… This Crystalline Water article is inspired by the research of Daniel Vitalis a wild raw food enthusiast and elixir master who [...]
13-Year-Old Makes Solar Power Breakthrough
13-Year-Old Makes Solar Power Breakthrough by Harnessing the Fibonacci Sequence While most 13-year-olds spend their free time playing video games or cruising Facebook, one 7th grader was trekking through the woods uncovering a mystery of science. After studying how trees branch in a very specific way, Aidan Dwyer created a solar cell tree that produces [...]
Nano Gold Particles Used In Solar Energy Efficiency
Nano Gold Rush: Researchers use tiny gold particles to boost organic solar cell efficiency In the world of solar energy, organic photovoltaic solar cells have a wide range of potential applications, but they are still considered an upstart. While these carbon-based cells, which use organic polymers or small molecules as semiconductors, are much thinner and [...]
Man Made DNA Neural Network That Can Think
Researchers build DNA neural network that thinks Researchers at the California Institute of Technology say they have built what they call the world’s first artificial neural network out of DNA molecules and that it can answer questions correctly Postdoctoral scholar Lulu Qian and colleagues describe “how molecular systems can exhibit autonomous brain-like behaviors” in a [...]
Earthships Gives Back in Guatemala (Video)
Project Overview: Maria is a single mother struggling to raise five children, one of whom is a niece she adopted when her sister passed away. Both she and her youngest child are often sick, due to lack of adequate foods and malnutrition. They do have access to free water; however, it is unsafe to drink. [...]
MIT Researchers Crack The Code On Cheaply Printing Solar Cells On Paper, Fabric
Now panels can be made lightweight, cheaply, and cleanly. It could be the first step in revolutionizing how we generate solar power.
