Can organics replace silicon in PV?: photosynthesis is one approach to photovoltaics

Article Abstract:

The soldiers on a typical desert reconnaissance mission, could cut their battery load in half, by carrying portable photovoltaic (PV) cells, and recharging them from the sun, as estimated by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa). The organic PV is recommended, as they almost weigh nothing, bend without breaking, and show rapidly improving efficiencies.

U.S. military goes for hybrid vehicles: experimental Marine Corps armored vehicle has diesel-electric drivetrain

Article Abstract:

U.S. military views the hybrid vehicles as the wave of the future due to their significant performance advantage with faster accelerators and doubling as portable generators. The features and working of the most sophisticated hybrid demonstration vehicle to date namely the U.S. Marine Corps Reconnaissance Surveillance Targeting vehicle (RST-V) is also described.

Neptune rising

Article Abstract:

North-East Pacific Time-Series Undersea Networked Experiments (NEPTUNE) by Dewey and his colleagues at a consortium of Canadian and U.S. universities and research labs are wiring thousands of square kilometers of ocean bottom with sensors, cameras, and other instruments designed to transfer the data onto the Internet so that scientists on land can access it.
