MIT Energy Storage Discovery Could Lead to ‘Unlimited’ Solar Power. Clean Power Published on October 25th, 2008 | by Andrew Williams Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have discovered a new way of storing energy from sunlight that could lead to ‘unlimited’ solar power. The process, loosely based on plant photosynthesis, uses solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. When needed, the gases can then be re-combined in a fuel cell, creating carbon-free electricity whether the sun is shining or not. According to project leader Prof. Nocera has also explained that the process (video) uses natural materials, is inexpensive to conduct and is easy to set up. Other prominent scientists in the field have rushed to highlight the revolutionary potential of the new process.
“This is a major discovery with enormous implications for the future prosperity of humankind. No news has yet been released of a predicted timescale to commericial development or mainstream adoption.

By James Manktelow and Kellie Fowler You don’t have to be a professional athlete or the CEO of a Fortune 500 company to set goals. Instead, what you do have to be is an individual who desires success – be it in your career, within your family, or perhaps with your personal finances. Goal setting is simply an organized personal planning process. It is a reliable method for identifying what you want to achieve – whether in the long- or short-term, and whether in your personal life or your professional career. So, to start setting goals, perhaps the first step should be to simply take some time to decide what direction you want your life to take.
From there, goal setting keeps you focused on your chosen direction and can act as a reference point any time you feel you have strayed from your determined path. Perhaps one of the most immediate effects of goal setting is the gratification you feel when you set a goal, stick to a plan, and achieve it. Architecture | Design Idea & Image Galleries on Dornob.
