Bioelectric effects of ‘electric’ fish like the Nile Catfish and Electric Eel are well known since ancient times. Bioelectricity is the process that is produced by or occurs in a living organism which can be transformed chemically to produce bioenergy which is both sustainable and renewable.
Energy security is a major challenge that needs imaginative and innovative solutions for a country like India. Therefore, options for diversification of fuels and energy sources need to be pursued vigorously to enhance the economic growth rate for socio-economic development.
Imagine charging your cellphone from a meadow or harvesting electricity from rice paddies. The technology works, but can we make plant power a staple crop?
PLATINUM is a precious metal used as a catalyst in fuel cells. But the high cost of platinum restricts fuel cells’ contribution to global energy solution. Researchers from Los Alamos National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a catalyst made of cheap and easily available materials like polyanaline …
A team, led by Jerry Woodall at Purdue University, has developed an aluminium alloy which they claim could be used in the new mobile technology to provide power and drinking water. Washington, May 4: Coming soon: A new mobile technology that would convert nonpotable water into drinking water while also …
On solid-oxide fuel cell Solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is a device in which hydrocarbons, like methane and diesel, electrochemically combine with air to produce electricity. Though it is an efficient power generator, it emits considerable amount of heat, which can be used further. Moreover, since a single cell produces just …
ONLY after four hours of delicate surgical procedure will a pacemaker fit into a patient’s chest.
