Sweden's experimental new SeaTwirl system, however, is designed to kinetically store wind energy until it's required - it's basically a seagoing flywheel. <a href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/seatwirl-spinning-wind-turbine/19965/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/new-york-delancey-underground-garden/19962/">New York's proposed subterranean garden</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/author/bridget-borgobello/">Bridget Borgobello</a></p> <p><em>07:00 September 27, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111006103603im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/new-york-delancey-underground-garden/19962/#comments">7 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111006103603im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/new-york-delancey-underground-garden/19962/picture/143503/">4 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/new-york-delancey-underground-garden/19962/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006103603im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/delancey.jpg" title="The Delancey Project hopes to create New York's very first subterranean green space (Image..." alt="The Delancey Project hopes to create New York's very first subterranean green space (Image..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Three New York entrepreneurs have unveiled plans to turn a long abandoned underground train terminal into a lush and thriving garden.

Many of these sponge-like filters incorporate porous crystals known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Unfortunately, most MOFs are derived from crude oil, plus some of them contain toxic heavy metals. Researchers from Illinois’ Northwestern University, however, recently announced that their <em>nontoxic</em> MOF sponge – made from sugar, salt and alcohol – is fully capable of capturing and storing CO2. As an added bonus, should you be really hungry, you can eat the thing. <a href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/edible-nontoxic-carbon-filter/19955/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/quantum-dot-solar-cell-efficiency-record/19922/">New efficiency record advances spray-on solar cells</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/author/noel-mckeegan/">Noel McKeegan</a></p> <p><em>01:55 September 23, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111006103603im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/quantum-dot-solar-cell-efficiency-record/19922/#comments">4 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111006103603im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/quantum-dot-solar-cell-efficiency-record/19922/picture/143264/">4 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/quantum-dot-solar-cell-efficiency-record/19922/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006103603im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/quantum-dot-solar-cell.jpg" title="Researchers at the University of Toronto have set a new efficiency record for colloidal qu..." alt="Researchers at the University of Toronto have set a new efficiency record for colloidal qu..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Advancing solar technology is a trade-off between the efficiency of the cells themselves and the cost of producing and installing them. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/more-efficient-quantum-dot-solar-cells/17933/" target="_blank">Quantum dot solar cells</a>, which use nanoscale semiconductors to produce electricity, promise low-cost production and, because they can be sprayed or painted on, big benefits in terms of installation.

We've known for some time that this reliance on finite resources that are polluting the planet is unsustainable in the long term. This has led to the search for alternatives and hydrogen is one of the leading contenders. One of the problems is that hydrogen is an energy carrier, rather than an energy source. Pure hydrogen doesn't occur naturally and it takes energy - usually generated by fossil fuels - to manufacture it. Now researchers at Pennsylvania State University have developed a way to produce hydrogen that uses no grid electricity and is carbon neutral and could be used anyplace that there is wastewater near sea water. <a href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/producing-hydrogen-from-wastewater/19884/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/velella-research-project-fish-farming/19857/">Velella Research Project is raising fish in sea-drifting pods</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></p> <p><em>12:59 September 16, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111006103603im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/velella-research-project-fish-farming/19857/#comments">12 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111006103603im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/velella-research-project-fish-farming/19857/picture/142743/">5 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/velella-research-project-fish-farming/19857/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006103603im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/valella.jpg" title="The Velella Research Project's Aquapod, adrift off the coast of Hawaii " alt="The Velella Research Project's Aquapod, adrift off the coast of Hawaii "/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>There are a number of reasons that many people are opposed to fish farming. Among other things, they claim that the caged fish release too much concentrated waste into the surrounding waters, too many antibiotics and anti-algal chemicals are used, the ecological balance is upset when non-native fish escape from their pens, and strain is put on populations of local fish that are captured for use in feed for carnivorous farmed fish. Unfortunately, wild-fish-capturing methods such as drift net fishing and bottom trawling have big problems of their own. A new system that involves raising fish in mesh spheres that float in the open ocean, however, is claimed to sidestep many of the drawbacks of traditional marine aquaculture. The Velella Research Project is pioneering the technology. <a href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/velella-research-project-fish-farming/19857/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/climate-reality-project-24-hour-live/19833/">The Climate Reality Project's 24 hour live streamed event beginning NOW - alert your friends</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/author/mike-hanlon/">Mike Hanlon</a></p> <p><em>17:58 September 14, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111006103603im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/climate-reality-project-24-hour-live/19833/#comments">31 Comments</a> </p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111006103603/http://www.gizmag.com/climate-reality-project-24-hour-live/19833/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111006103603im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/climate-reality-project.jpg" title="The Climate Reality Project has just kicked off its '24 Hours of Reality' live streamed ev..." alt="The Climate Reality Project has just kicked off its '24 Hours of Reality' live streamed ev..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>The Climate Reality Project (formerly known as the Alliance for Climate Protection) has just kicked off its "24 Hours of Reality" live streamed event.
