Layered graphene may solve hydrogen storage issues
March 17th, 2010 
Tilted Man Graphene — carbon formed into sheets a single atom thick — now appears to be a promising base material for capturing hydrogen, according to recent research. The findings suggest stacks of graphene layers could potentially store hydrogen safely for use in fuel cells and other applications. Graphene has become a very popular material for its [...]
France builds the biggest solar power plant
March 12th, 2010 Tilted Man France energy giant EDF is building the biggest solar power plant in the World at the abandoned Nato air base. The plant should be opened by 2012. The power plant is going to generate 143MW, while now, the biggest solar power plant, which is located in Spain generates only 60MW. Despite that, even bigger solar [...]
