Based on a belief solar cells should be integrated with everyday products and surfaces, Ubiquitous Energy has developed the first transparent solar cell. The film can be applied to any surface to generate power. Imagine phones and tablets that can be recharged from light and skyscrapers that can use windows as solar energy sources.

Irish researchers have discovered a new form of light. Light travels in a straight line but also rotates around its axis. It was believed the angular momentum of these photos was a multiple of Planck’s constant, which sets the scale for quantum effects. The researchers theorized certain quantum effects slowed the angular momentum of these [...]

Philips Lighting has expanded its Hue connected lighting offering with Hue white ambiance. These lamps can emit every shade of white light, from cool daylight (6500K) to warm white light (2200K). With the new “Routines” feature in the Philips Hue app, Philips Hue white ambiance can gradually brighten to help users wake up naturally in [...]

GE shows us how it’s done. This video shows off the company’s R&D capabilities. Scientists generated 2 million volts of electricity using a Marx generator. Super capacitors, capable of emitting and absorbing large surges of energy, captured that “lightning” in a bottle. The scientists use the bottle to power an electric car and drive off.
