BusinessGreen: Scientists have take a small step towards realising the "holy grail" of nuclear technology - a fusion reaction that produces more energy than it uses. Researchers at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California are aiming to recreate the conditions at the heart of the sun to provide a zero emissions power source that produces minimal waste. As part of the research a bank of 192 lasers is used to crush a tiny amount of fuel coated on the inside...

BusinessGreen: Harnessing bacteria to generate clean electricity from waste is quickly becoming science fact, not fiction, according to UK researchers. A team from the University of East Anglia (UEA) has shown how to "tether" bacteria directly to electrodes, bringing scientists a step closer to creating efficient microbial fuel cells or "bio-batteries". Findings published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) detail show that proteins on the surface of modified marine...
