‘Nano-reactor’ created for the production of hydrogen biofuel
A highly efficient biomaterial has been created that catalyzes the formation of hydrogen — one half of the ‘holy grail’ of splitting water to make hydrogen and oxygen for fueling cheap and efficient cars that run on water.
A nanophotonic comeback for incandescent bulbs?
Traditional light bulbs, thought to be well on their way to oblivion, may receive a reprieve thanks to a technological breakthrough.
Stormy weather ahead for wind farms?
Researchers will study the vibrations of wind turbines at a large Chilean wind farm along with health impacts on nearby residents. The goal is to make wind turbines more acceptable. Currently, scientists lack sufficient understanding of wind turbines’ noise and best ways to mitigate the effects, they say.

Wave energy integration costs should compare favorably to other energy sources
A new analysis suggests that large-scale wave energy systems developed in the Pacific Northwest should be comparatively steady, dependable and able to be integrated into the overall energy grid at lower costs than some other forms of alternative energy, including wind power.
