New virtual home

I'm moving to a new virtual home. I have done some blogging in the closed community of my company but feel it's time to spread my wings. I'll re-post my latest posts here, and from now on this is where you'll find me :-)

Nanomanufacturing for Energy Efficiency - RD&D Pathway for Industrial Applications

This figure is taken from the 2007 Nanomanufacturing for Energy Efficiency Workshop Report. It shows a roadmap for R&D towards nanotechnology giving large energy savings. The full report is available at http://www.bcsmain.com/mlists/files/NanoWorkshop_report.pdf . I can also recommend the "twine" for Nano Energy at http://www.twine.com/twine/11lg50t8z-bm/nano-energy

Solar power

Solar power is poised to be one of the important power sources of the future. Growth is already substantial, and within the next five years the increase will be nearly five-fold. Solar cells are however still very expensive and not at all very efficient. Both may change within this same time span. I recently read about a nanotechnology "paint" that was being developed and which could significantly increase the effect of solar cells. Today's solar cells only convert a slim specter of radiation into electricity. This means that much of the sun rays goes unused even when they hit a solar cell. The new paint simply transform some of this radiation into the frequencies that are easily exploited by the solar cells. The technique seems very appealing to me since it can be employed with existing solar cell plants and without expensive production. I also read that production capacity is now growing faster than the demand for solar cells. This implies that prices for solar cells wi...
