Meanwhile, wind and building-integrated solar modules with high efficiency photovoltaic materials can supplement our electrical generation capability, as stricter building codes and improved insulation can decrease the energy used to heat and cool buildings.

FORBES: Solar-Powered Cars? Clean Energy Hype Needs a Sober Dose Of Reality

In 1989, tinkering with materials he hoped would amplify electrical signals, Cambridge University physics professor Richard Friend and his graduate students were testing large organic molecules to see whether they were good insulators.

They have been embedded in materials like plastics to increase their toughness and provide electrical conductivity for components that are electrostatically painted.

ECONOMIST: The risk in nanotechnology

More modern versions have been powered by everything from waterwheels to electrical motors, and they work a wide variety of different kinds of materials, including metal and glass.
