Future Flexible Electronics Based On Carbon Nanotubes
2014-09-26 10:47:34| rfglobalnet Home Page
Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin and Northwestern University have demonstrated a new method to improve the reliability and performance of transistors and circuits based on carbon nanotubes (CNT), a semiconductor material that has long been considered by scientists as one of the most promising successors to silicon for smaller, faster and cheaper electronic devices. The result appears in a new paper published in the journal Applied Physics Letters, from AIP Publishing.

Natural Gas Usage Won't Help Curb Carbon Emissions
2014-09-25 18:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Switching from coal to natural gas for power generation will do very little to reduce harmful US carbon emissions causing climate change, according to new research. In fact, burning this cheap gas will just make us use more energy and hinder the expansion of renewable resources like wind and solar. It's no secret that coal-fired plants, the nation's largest source of power, produce vast quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2), the main greenhouse gas polluting Earth's atmosphere. Increased use of natural...

Europe's carbon cuts should be subject to Paris climate deal EU energy chief
2014-09-25 16:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Europe should only push ahead with its planned cuts to carbon emissions if the rest of the world agrees to a global climate change deal at a crunch summit in Paris next year, according to the EUs energy chief. Next month, EU leaders are expected to sign off on a package of targets for 2030 that will include a 40% cut in Europe emissions, legally enforceable Europe-wide targets of a 27% market share of renewables, and 30% improvement in energy efficiency. But Europe only accounts for around...

California, Quebec want to expand carbon trading system
2014-09-25 12:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Hill: California and the Canadian province of Quebec are recruiting other jurisdictions to join their carbon dioxide emissions trading system. Quebec is talking with Ontario and neighboring New England states and California is working with Oregon and Washington, Quebecs leader told Bloomberg News. The two jurisdictions started their partnership at the beginning of this year, after California spent a decade searching for a place to expand its market. The system is currently the largest carbon cap-and-trade...

New Straits Times: MALAYSIA is committed to cut carbon emissions but said rich nations should also keep to their promises to deal with global warming, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said on Tuesday. Speaking at the United Nations summit here on climate change, Najib said Malaysia was well on track to cut the emissions intensity of the Gross Domestic Product by 40 per cent by 2020 as promised. He said Malaysias pledge, made at the 2009 Copenhagen UN climate change conference, was made on the understanding...
