It is amazing the work that scientists are currently doing to investigate organic processes to create energy. Below are a few snippets I found that highlight some of the latest research in powering up from nature.

The first item is about photosynthesis so in essence they are using the natural methods that the leaf of a plant uses to create a source of energy.

The next story makes the very interesting point that we already do have the resources to provide the whole world with enough energy so there really is no excuse for the dirty power generators to maintain their dominance.

Following on with the theme of using nature to create power a Tel Aviv University team have discovered that the stripes of a hornet insect have a photo voltaic process.

Chemists Describe Solar Energy Progress And Challenges, Including The ‘Artificial Leaf’ (Nov. 6, 2009) Scientists are making progress toward development of an “artificial leaf” that mimics a real leaf’s chemical magic with photosynthesis — but instead converts sunlight and water into a liquid fuel … Record-Breaking Hydrogen Storage Materials For Use… – Source

Shifting The World To 100 Percent Clean, Renewable Energy As Early As 2030: Here Are The Numbers (Oct. 19, 2009) Wind, water and solar energy resources are sufficiently available to provide all the world’s energy. Their plan calls for using wind, water and solar energy to generate power, with wind and… – Source

In the course of their research, the Tel Aviv University team also found that the yellow and brown stripes on the hornet abdomen enable a photo-voltaic effect: the brown and yellow stripes on the hornet abdomen can absorb solar radiation, and the yellow pigment transforms that into electric power. The brown… – Source

The following reports talk about energy transport and polymer molecules, a bit beyond me I’m afraid but still fascinating. The next article is another take on the leaf technology angle and finally we wrap up with with a life cycle assessment of solar cell technology.

Hope everyone finds this as interesting as i did.

A team of McGill University researchers now reports how to visualize and study the process of energy transport along one single conductive polymer molecule at a time, a key step towards bringing these exciting new applications to market.

Orlin Velev, Invista Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and the lead author of a paper published online in the Journal of Materials Chemistry describing this new generation of solar cells. Just as real leaves do, water-gel-based solar devices can act like solar cells to produce electricity, new research shows. (Credit:… – Source

The study sought to calculate the total energy use and environmental impact of the material collection, fabrication, mass production and use of organic solar cells through a comprehensive life-cycle assessment of the technology. To better understand the energy and environmental benefits and detriments of solar power, a research team from Rochester… – Source

Nuclear has been promoted as a viable greenhouse gas saving power source to replace dirty coal power. But as the Japan earthquake and nuclear disaster continue to show an increase in nuclear energy may have consequences that we regret forever.

Below is a summary of the latest news out of Japan….

SENDAI, Japan A big aftershock rocked quake-weary Japan late Thursday, rattling nerves as it knocked out power to the northern part of the country and prompted tsunami warnings that were later canceled. There were no immediate reports of serious injuries or major damage, and the operator of the tsunami-ravaged Fukushima Dai-ichi… – Source

The loss of external power sources at Fukushima Daiichi in the March 11 tsunami left reactor cores heating up uncontrollably, resulting in the worlds worst nuclear emergency since Chernobyl. Workers battling to control the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant on the northeast coast were temporarily ordered to evacuate, plant operator Tokyo… – Source

The devastated Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant has become the latest poster child for long-standing issues surrounding nuclear energy — issues that need to be resolved to reduce the risk of a similar nuclear crisis in the United States. As of 2010, US nuclear utilities were storing 169,696 fuel assemblies at… – Source

There is a dire need for a real time radiation monitoring network to be set up in areas affected by the damaged Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear power plant, Atsuto Suzuki, head of the high-energy accelerator research organisation at Tsukuba University, explained. FUKUSHIMA, Apr 7 (IPS) – My decision to visit Fukushima -… – Source
