If Mike Nichols’ classic comedy, “The Graduate,” were made today, the famous line about “plastics” would have a more up-to-date subject: “I want to say one word to you. Just one word … Efficiency.” Energy efficiency — in every form from better lighting to automated building management to smart metering — is the

Why does it always seem that when you solve one problem, you create another one? Consider making the switch from cars to bikes: while it’s very nice for reducing pollution, saving on fuel costs and getting some exercise, what do you do when the sidewalk bike racks are filled

Here’s an interesting one: make of this what you will. If you were the world’s banker, – not in the Deal or No Deal sense, alas – and you had the choice of whether to splash the cash on medical breakthroughs or fuel efficiency and alternative fuels breakthroughs, where would

Northwestern Uni has cracked a new anode coating strategy to get solar cells running more efficiently, according to the US educator, which will produce “cheaper, more manufacturable and more easily implemented solar cells”. Here comes the science bit – concentrate. Greenbang will let Northwestern explain in its own words: To date,
