Eco Factor: Rugged solar cell design for more efficiency. The amount of solar electricity generated by solar cells depends on the amount of sunlight the cells receive, which further depends on the amount of reflected light. The more the reflection, the less the output. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new mechanism by which solar cells can be made m read more »

Eco Factor: Forests in the sky to absorb harmful CO2 from the upper atmosphere. Reading the simple laws of physics will make you understand that hot air is lighter than cold air, and all the harmful CO2 released from factory chimneys doesn’t have an immediate effect on the people living on the ground. The exhaust gases are hot, hence they lift and stay in the upper part of the atmosp read more »
