MIT researchers have found a way to use carbon nanotubes to concentrate light by about 100x and funnel photons into smaller (thus less expensive) solar panels. “Instead of having your whole roof be a photovoltaic cell, you could have little spots that were tiny photovoltaic cells, with antennas that would drive photons into them,” says Michael Strano, the Charles and Hilda Roddey Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering and leader of the research team….

Humans Get Better, Planet Gets Worse: It’s the Environmentalist’s Paradox

Photo via Research4Development A recent paper in the September issue of BioScience took on the so-called ‘Environmentalist’s Paradox’. That paradox poses a question along these lines: Why is it that human well-being has increased over the years, while the planet’s resources have been severely degraded — and how is that trajectory continuing today despite increasing damage to key ecosystem services? … Read the full story on TreeHugger
