Berkeley Lab engineer tapped to head U.S. energy R&D agency Roughly seven months after launching a new energy research agency, the Obama administration has nominated a top engineer at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to head the agency. Lab-on-chip innovator Michelle Khine to be honored Michelle Khine, a professor at the University of California at Irvine, will be honored next month for inventing a method for fabricating microfluidic devices without a clean room. Small engines get greener Emissions from small gasoline engines could be reduced using a new analog chip that Freescale Semiconductor introduced at a technology forum in Shenzhen, China. U.S. invests $6.4 million in LED research The Energy Department will fund LED and organic LED research with funds from the economic stimulus package approved by Congress in February. Cowboys' new stadium a reminder of how to waste energy Owen Glubiak took a tour of the new Dallas Cowboys playing facility. Upon questioning his tour guide about energy usage at the new stadium, the guide's answers shocked and stunned him. Sony debuts longer-lasting, faster-charging battery for consumer devices Sony has announced a new line of olivine-type lithium iron phosphate batteries that promise rapid-charging, higher power, and longer lasting over other battery technologies. Nanospears promise to supercharge solar cells By studding the top of solar cells with nanospears of zinc oxide, the spectrum of light absorption can be expanded to enhance their efficiency, according to researchers. NXP, Tata BP Solar in development pact NXP Semiconductors will supply electronic components to Tata BP Solar India Ltd., a joint venture of BP Solar and Tata Power, under terms of a new agreement. India's solar plan inches forward A top government agency has given conditional approval for billions of dollars in proposed investments in India's National Solar Mission. U.S. earmarks $2.4 billion for battery, e-car manufacturing The Obama administration announced 48 new advanced battery and electric car technology projects that will receive $2.4 billion in U.S. economic stimulus funding. Energy R&D agency flooded with tech proposals A new Energy Department research agency has been inundated with "transformational" technology proposals, receiving about 3,500 submissions since April. Stirling engine solar dish farms also seek to restart Detroit The solar power industry could help put Detroit back to work, according to Sandia National Laboratories and their commercial collaborators who plan to break ground next year on the first commercial Stirling engine-based solar energy collectors. Slideshow: Energy fair stresses jobs, training and ROI With the U.S. economy still in the tank and the ranks of the unemployed still growing, many visitors to this year's Midwest Renewable Energy Association's Energy Fair came looking for work or a career change. Photovoltaic junction box design enables automated PV module production An innovative junction box that enables automated photovoltaic (PV) module production has been unveiled at the InterSolar 2009 exhibition by Molex Incorporated. Chinese thin film solar module producer focuses on the German market ENN Solar Energy Co., Ltd, the subsidiary of China's biggest private energy provider, ENN Group, is launching new silicon thin film solar modules in the German market at InterSolar 2009 in Munich. Cutting Back Energy in the Data Dungeon While consumers and corporations alike may be getting 'greener', the biggest energy offenders may lurk in the unnoticed regions of the enterprise: the data center. Amounting to 40 percent of a data center's total cost (including operation and equipment), the opportunities and payoff for reducing the power consumption here is substantial. Take a look to see how these solutions are spurring an industry. DoE to fund internal combustion engine R&D The Energy Department will fund six university research projects aimed at improving the efficiency of internal combustion engines. Loss-ridden Conergy files suit against MEMC Beleaguered photovoltaic system vendor Conergy AG (Hamburg, Germany) has announced legal measures against a silicon supply contract with US-based MEMC Electronics Materials Inc. Expo will highlight 'green' displays A green display exposition in July will explore how technology, standards and regulations will affect display use and disposal. First tandem junction SunFab Thin Film Line begins volume production Sunfilm, AG (Grossroehrsdorf, Germany) and Applied Materials, Inc., (Santa Clara, California) have revealed that the world's first tandem junction SunFab Thin Film Line installed at Sunfilm's Grossroehrsdorf facility has achieved factory acceptance.
