Researchers led by MIT professor Daniel Nocera have produced an “artificial leaf”—a solar water-splitting cell producing hydrogen and oxygen that operates in near-neutral pH conditions, both with and without connecting wires. light-to-electricity efficiency, respectively, and when illuminated with 1 sun of AM 1.5

Daniel Nocera and his associates have found another formulation, based on inexpensive and widely available materials, that can efficiently catalyze the splitting of water molecules using electricity. Nocera believes that as the team carries out further research even better compounds will come to light. Earlier post.).

Preliminary analyses indicate not only the presence of recoverable volumes of some 280 million barrels of light oil (28° API), but also good productivity. The discovery well is located nearly 120 km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro and at a water depth of 976 meters. Earlier post.).

New research shows that air pollution in eastern China has reduced the amount of light rainfall over the past 50 years and decreased by 23% the number of days of light rain in the eastern half of the country. But light rainfall that sustains crops has decreased everywhere. The northern half has seen less rain and more droughts.

The IMO’s previous goal was a 50 percent reduction by 2050 in comparison with 2008 levels. It was in service from 1962 to 1972, but its pressurized light-water reactor (LWR) proved too complex and expensive for the ship to operate profitably. At a July meeting of the International Maritime Organization , the U.N.

The New York Hornblower Hybrid follows the 2008 launch of the San Francisco Hornblower Hybrid, the United States’ first hybrid ferry. Flat-panel LED video screens and LED lighting will minimize energy use, while long-life, low-VOC paints will cover the boat’s exterior. Rendering of the Hornblower hybrid ferry. Click to enlarge.

Instead of a liquid phase bioreactor to gro the algae, Proterro has demonstrated and scaled a solid-phase modular photobioreactor that optimizes the organisms’ access to light and carbon dioxide, and uses significantly less water.
