Nanophotonics is born out of the combination of three major sciences: photonics, nanotechnology, and optoelectronics. While photonics and optoelectronics have revolutionized the electronics and semiconductors market, nanotechnology has the greatest potential for further improvement, and hence has emerged as the most sought-after technology by big companies and research laboratories. In spite of it being in the nascent stage, nanophotonics is expected to make it to the mainstream market owing to its higher power efficiency, thermal Read more

The Indian society is ill prepared either to accept these technologies, or even to evaluate their consequences on our social set up Read more

There is growing concern about agricultural activities leading to environmental degradation and health risks associated with intensively produced foodstuffs. As a result interest in organic agriculture is increasing. This growing interest in sustainable and organic natural resource management and healthy eating, coupled with the increasing number of resource-poor farmers who cannot afford agrichemicals, has led to the potential for organic farming in addressing the issue of sustainable food production and livelihoods of resource-poor people in sub-Saharan Read more

Worldwide Emerging Technologies and Trends for Rechargeable Battery Market

Whether it is a battery for the latest laptop, energy storage for a hybrid electric vehicle, or backup power for a remote telecommunications site, everyone wants a battery that has the highest energy density, best safety factor, and longest life in term of discharge cycles and ease of maintenance while still being environmentally friendly. These are the drivers behind rechargeable battery research around the world today. Rechargeable batteries, also known as storage batteries, are a Read more

This research report on Smart Grid Energy Technologies presents an in-depth analysis of the development, applications, products, manufacturers, and trends in the deployment of the Smart Grid in the United States and around the world. The electric grid is over a hundred years old, has changed little in the way it operates since its inception, and will not be able to support future electric demand without substantial new and costly infrastructure. However, technologies exist that can improve efficiencies and moderate Read more
