Solar Roads: Our Energy Solution? Solar Roadways The Department of Energy just gave $100,000 to upstart company Solar Roadways, to develop 12-by-12-foot solar panels, dubbed "Solar Roads," that can be embedded into roads, pumping power into the grid.
Solar Panels Built Into Roads Could Be the Future of Energy
Simple device which uses electrical field to boost gas efficiency developed by Temple University researcher
With the high cost of gasoline and diesel fuel impacting costs for automobiles, trucks, buses and the overall economy, a Temple University physics professor has developed a simple device which could dramatically improve fuel efficiency as much as 20 percent. According to Rongjia Tao, chair of Temple’s Physics Department, the small device consists of an electrically charged tube that can be attached to the fuel line of a car’s engine near the fuel injector.
Theoretical physicists think they might have the makings of the world's first 'anti-invisibility cloak', a device which, when layered beneath an invisibility cloak, renders any object within visible again.

Swedish company Home Energy recently revealed an innovative wind turbine that spins in a spherical formation. Eschewing traditional rotors for a sleek orb structure, this beautiful rethinking of conventional wind turbine design utilizes the Venturi principle, which funnels wind within the turbine’s blades.
