(Natural News) The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), a research facility of the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Navy, has successfully transmitted 1.6 kilowatts of electrical energy over one kilometer by converting electricity into microwaves, which are then sent to a receiver in a directed beam using a dish as a transmitting antenna. According to […]

(Natural News) Swedish carmaker Volvo has announced that it will develop steel for its cars without the use of fossil fuels. While steel is an important material for manufacturing cars, fossil fuels such as coal are involved in its creation. Thus, Volvo has partnered with Swedish steel manufacturer SSAB to make fossil-free steel a reality. […]

(Natural News) Sales of electric vehicles (EV) will dramatically increase over the next two decades, according to a new report released on June 9. But that increase is not going to be 100 percent beneficial to the environment due to the way EV batteries are manufactured and charged The report, authored by research firm BloombergNEF (BNEF), analyzed […]

(Natural News) As one of the thinnest, most flexible and conductive materials known to man, graphene is an important material for technologies such as flexible nanoelectronics and fuel cells. Recently, a team of researchers from Australia and India has figured out how to add “sustainable” and “affordable” to graphene’s list of attributes as well. A new […]

(Natural News) Chinese researchers debuted a new photocatalytic disinfectant for eliminating pathogenic microorganisms in water. Made from incredibly thin sheets of graphitic carbon nitride and powered by light instead of electricity, the new disinfectant offered an environment-friendly approach to water purification. In trials, it reportedly purified samples of heavily-contaminated water in just half an hour.  It also killed nearly […]

(Natural News) The IFO Institute in Germany just released a new report on the ecological impact of electric cars. Electric cars are often advertised as “green” technology, great for the environment and the best solution to preserve the Earth’s ozone layer. The member countries of the European Union (EU) promote electric cars as the savior […]

(Natural News) In the coming years, many products that you might be using on a daily basis will be replaced by more eco-friendly counterparts. Scientists working in the fields of green and energy-saving technology are working hard to ensure that. One example of such a change could be due to biosurfactants – particles produced by […]

(Natural News) The growing demand for green technologies such as electric vehicles and wind turbines has called for a heavy price. The need for rare earth minerals in their production processes is all but causing great harm to the environment and placing unnecessary pressure upon poor communities. Yet a team of researchers from the Camborne […]
