Remembering the Legacy of Trailblazing Technologist Gordon Moore

Cars That Think

Moore is best known for his 1965 prediction, which would become known as Moore’s Law : the observation that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit would grow exponentially while the retail cost of computers would decrease. Intel helped cement the region as a global center for technological innovation, the article says.

OSU hybrid “solar battery” uses photo-assisted charging to improve performance of Li-air batteries; “negative overpotential”

Green Car Congress

Researchers at The Ohio State University have developed a novel strategy to improve the efficiency and performance of non-aqueous lithium-oxygen (Li-air) batteries. The state of the art is to use a solar panel to capture the light, and then use a cheap battery to store the energy. Any time you can do that, you reduce cost.
