New type of solar structure cools buildings in full sunlight
2013-03-27 21:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: A Stanford team has designed an entirely new form of cooling panel that works even when the sun is shining. Such a panel could vastly improve the daylight cooling of buildings, cars and other structures by radiating sunlight back into the chilly vacuum of space. Homes and buildings chilled without air conditioners. Car interiors that don't heat up in the summer sun. Tapping the frigid expanses of outer space to cool the planet. Science fiction, you say? Well, maybe not any more. A team of researchers...

Sunlight stimulates release of climate-warming gas from melting arctic permafrost
2013-02-11 23:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Ancient carbon trapped in Arctic permafrost is extremely sensitive to sunlight and, if exposed to the surface when long-frozen soils melt and collapse, can release climate-warming carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere much faster than previously thought. University of Michigan ecologist and aquatic biogeochemist George Kling and his colleagues studied places in Arctic Alaska where permafrost is melting and is causing the overlying land surface to collapse, forming erosional holes and landslides...

Norwegians trap sunlight with microbeads, produce solar cells that are 20 times thinner, cheaper
2013-01-29 16:08:18| Extremetech
Researchers from the University of Oslo have used a bunch of "wonderful tricks" to produce silicon solar cells that are twenty times thinner than commercial solar cells. This breakthrough means that solar cells can be produced using 95% less silicon, reducing production costs considerably -- both increasing profits (which are almost nonexistent at the moment), and reducing the cost of solar power installations.
