Self-Repair Solar Cells Pass the Test
MIT's Michael Strano says when sunlight hits oxygen the result is damaging. It's the reason nearly everything degrades, from aging human bodies to solar cells. Researchers are tackling this problem by working on biological solar cells that are self-repairing and self-assembling. They are testing these biological solar cells by using various chemicals and experimenting with the effects they have on the cells. Researchers are finding that these cells are repairing and reassembling themselves when exposed to certain chemicals. All this is adding up to possible future solar cells that can be used in manufacturing panels, films, etc. that will repair the sun's damaging effects. Cells lasting longer will reinforce solar applications, leading to even further technological testing and advances.Read more...

Spinning for Electricity
Clients of a new San Diego California gym called Greenasium have the chance to drop calories while, at the same time, producing energy to run the gym. The new gym opened the first week in September and houses 3 specialized spinning bikes that are equipped to create energy that is plugged into the nearest outlet. "The bikes are retrofitted by a company up in Seattle that we work with called Resource Fitness," said Greenasium 's co-owner Byron Spratt. "As the bike (spins), the wheel creates DC power, converts it to AC power, which is plugged back into the wall, which puts energy back into the grid." Their floor is also made of recycled tires.Read more...
