Working Toward New Energy With Electrochemistry

In an effort to develop alternative energy sources such as fuel cells and solar fuel from "artificial" photosynthesis, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory are taking a detailed look at electrons - the particles that set almost all chemical processes in motion.

7. Nanowire generates power by harvesting energy from the environment
   09-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
   As the sizes of sensor networks and mobile devices shrink toward the microscale, and even nanoscale, there is a growing need for suitable power sources. Because even the tiniest battery is too big to be used in nanoscale devices, scientists are exploring nanosize systems that can salvage energy from the environment. Researchers at the University of Illinois have now shown that a single nanowire can produce power by harvesting mechanical energy.

10. Researchers address developing countries' water and sanitation needs
    03-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Worldwide, more than one billion people lack access to an improved water source, such as a rainwater collection or dug well, and two billion still need access to basic sanitation facilities, such as a latrine. Local communities in the developing world and professional researchers are working to address these issues. Researchers recently presented their work toward this end at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
