Optical Computer Closer: Optical Transistor Made From Single Molecule
Researchers have successfully created an optical transistor from a single molecule. This has brought them one step closer to an optical computer.Breakthrough In Development Of Tiny Biological Fuel Cells
Researchers have developed a successful way to grow molecular wire brushes that conduct electrical charges, a first step in developing biological fuel cells that could power pacemakers, cochlear implants and prosthetic limbs.Energy-saving Method Checks Refrigerant Level In Air Conditioners
Engineers have developed a technique that saves energy and servicing costs by indicating when air conditioners are low on refrigerant, preventing the units from working overtime.Roadsters Embrace Green Racing
Green racing is now part of the American Le Mans series. It's auto racing where the prize goes to the fastest car with the smallest environmental footprint. But being green does not mean being slow; green race cars are still 200 mph+ cars. The hope is that the concept will lead to more energy-efficient cars for consumers.Flexible Solar Strips Light Up Campus Bus Shelter
Engineering researchers in Canada have developed a tiling technique to create flexible solar cell panels. It is being tested on the curved roof of a campus bus shelter to power interior lighting.Solar Energy
VC Investment in Green Tech Up to US $1.2B in Q2
Greentech Media Inc. this week released quarterly data showing that venture capital investment in green technologies totaled US $1.2 billion in 85 deals in the second quarter of 2009. This is up from $836 million in 59 deals in the first quarter of 2009. Nominations Open for Lifetime Leadership Awards

US DOI Fast-Tracking Initiatives for Solar Energy on Federal Lands
Under initiatives announced by Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and U.S. Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), federal agencies will work with western leaders to designate tracts of U.S. public lands in the West as prime zones for utility-scale solar energy development, fund environmental studies, open new solar energy permitting offices and speed reviews of industry proposals.Renewable Energy Investors Are Cautiously Optimistic
In just five months, the U.S. government has gone from being a casual supporter of renewable energy to the one of world's biggest investors in the space. Now the private sector is trying to figure out what role it will play in this new era of government involvement. Cleanest Fuels
A video by Plug-in Partners promoting the many benefits of Plugin Hybrids Electric Vehicles. If the current U.S. vehicle fleet were replaced overnight with PHEVs, oil consumption would decrease by 70 to 90 percent, eliminating the need for oil imports and leaving the U.S. self-sufficient in oil for many years to come. Even if the electrical power for those vehicles were drawn from coal-fired power plants, CO2 emissions would drop by more than half. If the power were produced by renewable energy sources, and the fuel in the tank were biodiesel or ethanol, the proposition gets exponentially better.
