Water evaporation shows promise as source of renewable energy

A new method of harvesting energy from water evaporation could be comparable to that of wind and solar power and might one day have a big impact on solving our power problems. according to new research published in Nature Communications, if evaporation energy was used on the existing lakes and reservoirs in the US, not including

Is space the secret to efficient air conditioning?

A radiative cooling technology for air conditioning that leverages the coldness of space could help cut energy consumption – and carbon dioxide emissions – in new buildings up to 70 percent. Skycool Systems believes their unconventional approach to cooling, which uses reflective panels mounted on a building’s roof, can cool structures far more efficiently than traditional air-conditioning

Solar Squared glass brick stores energy from the sun while providing natural light

There’s a sunny new trend in home design. Researchers at Exeter University in England have created a solar cell that combines form + function. The Solar Squared design is a glass brick embedded with translucent photovoltaic solar cells that can store energy from the sun while letting in natural light when used as building materials. The
