SOL Dome in London, created by Lopp.pH

This nearly-invisible, solar-powered dome lights up in response to carbon levels in the atmosphere. Installed in Michigan as part of an ongoing research project, the SOL Dome is an ultra-light LED structure built from woven circles of composite fiber.

The different fibers will illuminate the dome in a kaleidoscope of colors, based on the amount of carbon in the air – creating a vivid reminder of our environmental impact.

Old-Fashioned Steam Engines Could Solve Solar Energy Storage Problem

Australian engineers might have solved one of the biggest obstacles to scaling up solar energy — the lack of affordable storage technology that allows solar to be used at peak demand after the sun goes down. Their California-based startup Terrajoule is applying an older technology, namely steam engines, to build a storage system that could lower the cost to under $100 per kWh, which is less than 20 percent of what it costs for current battery storage systems. This new system will also last longer (it has a 25 year lifecycle), thereby eliminating use of the toxic and rare materials contained in batteries.
