#At the limit of Moore's law: scientists develop molecule-sized transistors Scientists have created a transistor made up of a single molecule.
Surrounded by just 12 atoms, it is likely to be the smallest possible size for a transistor and the hard limit for Moore law.
The transistor is made of a single molecule of phthalocyanine surrounded by ring of 12 positively charged indium atoms placed on an indium arsenide crystal,
as revealed in the scientific journal Nature Physics. Each indium atom is 167 picometres in diameter,
which makes them 0. 167nm wide or 42 times smaller than the very smallest circuits currently possible,
Today, United will announce a $30 million investment in Fulcrum Bioenergy, one of the largest makers of aviation biofuels.
a computer that powerful would require an entire power plant's worth of energy to keep going,
The engineers will have to design white lasers to run on battery power before they can be used for commercial applications.
#Nvidia recalls all Shield Tablets due to battery fire hazard Nvidia promised spectacular, unprecedented gaming performance from its 8-inch Shield Tablet last year,
The company is now recalling its first Android tablet device due to a potential fire hazard posed by the battery,
but apparently its battery hasn't lived up to the same high standards. Nvidia has set up a replacement program
#New Technology Captures Evaporation Energy by Employing Bacterial Spores In a breakthrough achievement, researchers at the Columbia University have created a new technology that powers the world's first evaporation-driven engine.
The discovery published today in the journal Nature Communications reveals the use of bacterial spores to tap evaporation energy that can be utilized for running different kinds of machines.
"This is not the first time that evaporation energy has been captured, but it is the first time that it has been done a scale where objects could be moved.
their movement was used to create energy that powered an engine which could run LED LIGHTS and even drive a miniature car!
Fratzl further asserted that this is a very impressive breakthrough as the engine is essentially harvesting useful amounts of energy from the infinitely small
#New Battery Design is hybrid between Flow batteries and Conventional Solid Ones Cambridge, Mass. -based Battery Company 24m and researchers at MIT have developed a new manufacturing approach for lithium-ion batteries.
The approach will not only prove cost effective, but will improve their performance and make it easier to recycle.
Not much change has been noticed in the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries in the two decades.
and pumped through different compartments of the battery. Scientists said that the new battery design is a hybrid between flow batteries and conventional ones.
The research published in the Journal of Power Sources unveiled that the new approach has simplified manufacturing.
Also, the batteries become flexible and resistant to damage. Research paper'senior author Chiang said that after presenting the earlier research on the flow battery,
"We realized that a better way to make use of this flowable electrode technology was to reinvent the lithium ion manufacturing process".
The new system leads to the production of battery that is more flexible and resilient. Around 10,000 batteries have been made by the company on its prototype assembly lines.
They will undergo testing by three industrial partners s
#Fiber Networks Ready for a Revamp, Engineers Unveil Method to Dispel Noise Effects The fiber optic data transmission will soon be enhanced significantly as electrical engineers at the UC San diego Qualcomm Institute have divulged a method to increase the capacity limit of high-bandwidth fiber optic cables.
#Gogoro's Electric scooter Has Swappable Batteries Taiwanese company, Gogoro has come up with a smart electric scooter that runs on swappable electric batteries.
The new scooter is a state of the art vehicle as well as environment friendly, and was unveiled at the International Consumer electronics Show (CES) 2015.
Instead, this electric scooter functions on batteries, which can easily be changed when they are drained of power.
ur products and business model will impact a variety of consumer areas to create a metropolitan ecosystem with better connectivity, easier access to energy,
The scooter can cover about 60 miles on one battery with a Panasonic cell. The Gogoro electric scooter can reach 50 km h in 4. 2 seconds.
where the drivers can change the old battery with a new one, in just a few moments.
The batteries include 25 sensors a NFC technology, and a 256-bit security. Gogoro designed the battery in collaboration with Panasonic
and it an 18650-size automotive grade lithium ion cell. el go in and deploy vending machines,
and our job will be to make sure there is always a battery ready. One station per mile is
Presently in US air-conditioning in buildings accounts for 15%energy consumption of the total energy consumption of those premises.
Places like big building complexes and shopping centers use heavy amounts of electricity for their giant cooling systems.
You can significantly offset the electricity used for air conditioning, said Shanhui Fan, an expert in photonics at Stanford university who led the development of the mirror. n some situations the computations say you can completely offset the air conditioning.
and can annually save 100mwh of electricity and will be soon available for commercial use r
Presently, photovoltaic cells are used to convert solar energy into hydrogen, which is stored then in fuel cells for future use.
However, hydrogen has succeeded not yet in marking its prominent presence as an energy source because presently the world has an infrastructure
which can better handle liquid fuels. Harvard researchers have invented a bionic leaf an integrated system, in which sunlight can be used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.
which could be achieved by retro-fitting TAML treatment rather than building expensive high-energy plants."

#Surge Focusing on More Mature Energy companies, Raising Bigger Fund The change of one word can signify a lot.
A serial entrepreneur in Austin, he saw an opportunity in his hometown of Houston to boost energy innovation.
In January the cloud service provider announced plans for a wind farm in Benton County Indiana, that is expected to produce 500,000-megawatt hours of wind power annually once it's operational in January 2016.
But even with its grand energy commitments, AWS is criticized still highly--mostly by the environmental organization Greenpeace--for its lack of transparency surrounding energy consumption and the way it sources renewable energy.
For one, Amazon's energy timeline is a lot blurrier than those outlined by Apple, Google and IBM.
Beyond the dates set for the solar and wind farms Amazon has committed not publically to a renewable energy deadline.
In the lengthy post, Barr acknowledged a recent Greenpeace energy report that blasts AWS for being stuck in the"dirty energy past
