For the first time astronomers have witnessed a super massive black hole blasting its galactic neighbor with a deadly beam of energy. The "death star galaxy," as NASA astronomers called it, could obliterate the atmospheres of planets but also trigger the birth of stars in its wake of its destructive beam. See animation & hi-res pictures here. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

A unique fungus that makes diesel compounds has been discovered living in trees in the rainforest. The fungus is potentially a totally new source of green energy and scientists are now working to develop its fuel producing potential. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

The world is heading for a catastrophic energy crunch that could cripple a global economic recovery because most of the major oil fields in the world have passed their peak production.

Sails to catch the Solar Wind has been a science-fiction staple for many years. The photons streaming from the sun do have a bit of pressure. It is tiny, but it adds up and in the vacuum of space it is sufficient to propel a vehicle. What's more the energy is free and unlimited. picked by 2manyusernames 1 year ago

The team of engineers and scientists has embarked on the building of its 98-foot long vessel, dubbed Planet Solar, in Kiel, Germany. The boat's power will come from the 5,000 square feet of solar panels, about the size of two tennis courts, covering its broad deck. When the sun is shining bright above, they will convert 23 percent of the sun's rays to energy -- six percent more than average solar ... read full post picked by kakana 4 months ago

A new transparent, composite plastic as strong as steel and as thin as a sheet of paper has been developed. The plastic could be used one day to produce lighter, stronger armour for soldiers or police and their vehicles. It also has potential to reduce the energy required to separate gasses in chemical factories and improve microtechnology such as microchips or biomedical sensors. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

The Greenland shark, is a nuisance to fishermen and its meat is toxic to humans, but researchers hope the flesh can be used to create a biofuel for Inuits.

Biofuel based on sharks and other sea products could supply 13 percent of energy consumption in the village of Uummannaq. The project could help the many isolated villages become self-sufficient in terms of energy. picked by Bingo 4 months ago
