Researchers have developed a solar cell that is able to directly split water. It does not produce electricity in a first step and split the water in a second step, but rather only has one step.

Solid-state lighting technologies, which include both LED and organic light emitting diode technologies, have the potential to save Americans $26 billion a year in energy costs by 2030.

NASA and the DOE have set up a crowdsourcing campaign to find the best ideas for harnessing wave energy for producing electricity and they're offering up some great tools.

Bộ Năng lượng Mỹ (DOE) đang đầu tư 3,2 triệu đô la Mỹ cho Sáng kiến ​​ Vườn ươm Quốc gia cho năng lượng sạch (NIICE). Sáng kiến sẽ cung cấp các dịch vụ hỗ trợ và đào tạo, nhằm mang công nghệ của những công ty mới đến gần hơn với thị trường.

A new batteryless cardiac pacemaker based on an automatic wristwatch and powered by heart motion has been presented by researchers. The prototype device does not require battery replacement.

The Energy Department announced up to $6 million in funding to deploy and demonstrate four emerging energy-saving technologies in commercial buildings across the country.

The Department of Energy announced Wednesday it has awarded $10 million to be split between six research and development projects that will focus on thermochemical storage technologies for concentrating solar power (CSP) systems.

Research meteorologist Edwin Campos and his colleagues at DOE's Argonne National Laboratory have partnered with IBM to build a forecasting technology based on IBM's Watson supercomputer, made famous by its 2011 victory over human champions on the television quiz show Jeopardy!.

Nineteen teams of students from the United States and Europe unveiled their designs for solar-powered, energy-efficient homes at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Solar Decathlon 2013, which began on October 3rd, 2013 in Irvine, California.

The Energy Excelerator also receives funding from the Department of Energy (DOE), among others.

On September 5th, 2013, in Hanoi, General Department of Energy (GDoE) – Ministry of Industry and Trade held a workshop to announce the new financing mechanism about lending schemes of renewable energy development projects (REDP).

Sáng nay (5/9/2013), tại Hà Nội, Tổng cục năng lượng (GDoE) - Bộ Công Thương tổ chức Hội thảo công bố cơ chế tài chính mới cho vay của dự án phát triển năng lượng tái tạo (REDP).

Researchers at MIT have come up with a new design for a rechargeable flow battery that does away with the expensive and ineffective membrane of previous designs.

The US Department of Energy (DOE) and its National Renewable Energy Laboratories (NREL, Golden, Colorado, US) will open a new facility dedicated to utility-scale integration of technology including solar photovoltaics (PV), wind turbines and electric vehicles on August 21st, 2013.

Germany’s solar manufacturing sector has been hit hard by cheap Chinese products but that doesn’t mean all of Germany is going to sit by quietly as the European Union moves toward import duties of the sort the U.S. has already imposed.

What does a house look like that consumes no net energy, no net water, and sends no waste to the city sewers?

It doesn’t look like much. In fact, you could say Columbia Island is a concrete slab of an eyesore in the Long Island Sound off the coast of New Rochelle, N.Y. But soon it will be a 6,000-square-foot residence that’s off the grid and self-powered by solar and a solar storage system.

The light spectrum of the artificial lights being used in Vietnam does not fully match the photosynthesis spectrum of plants. LED lamps would be a good solution.

How you choose to light your home can have a big impact on how much you enjoy being there. Not only does lighting affect your home’s ambiance, it’s also a big factor in home energy consumption. If you want your home to look and feel comfortable, without wasting energy, examining your light bulbs and light fixtures is a good place to start.

Shortly after the Fukushima nuclear catastrophe, the celebrated Guardian journalist George Monbiot wrote one of his most widely read articles. It was entitled 'Why Fukushima made me stop worrying and love nuclear power'.
