MIT accelerates push to find technological solutions to curbing carbon emissions
2016-01-24 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Boston Globe: Some MIT professors are researching nuclear power plants that can float in the ocean. Others are testing atom-sized solar cells that can coat skyscraper windows or smartphone screens. And still others are looking at how to mix algae with sunlight to make a reliable, clean fuel. Policy makers, scientists, and many others are banking on technological breakthroughs in the wake of an agreement last month by 195 nations to cut carbon emissions -- a landmark effort to slow the rise of global temperatures....

MIT researchers have figured out how to make solar cells with old car batteries
2015-12-24 13:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
BGR: Heres a clever technological breakthrough that could help the environment in two ways. MIT announced this week that some of its researchers have figured out a way to make solar cells using parts from discarded car batteries that would otherwise have simply gone to waste. Essentially, the researchers have figured out how to extract lead from old car batteries and use it as a component in solar cells that they say are just as efficient as solar cells produced with high-purity, commercially available...
