Virus-Powered Car Batteries
Responding to the growing need for high-functioning rechargeable batteries, scientists at MIT came up with virus-powered versions, a remarkable idea that may just be the next big thing in green tech. Using genetically engineered viruses that essentially build a cathode, the upshot is a battery that can be charged up to 100 times without losing any of its capacity (improvements are expected). What's more,...

Green Concept Cars by The Royal College Of Arts
Design with no regard to plausibility is always fascinating, especially when applied to the sense of fantasy and freedom inspired by cars. But what happens when you introduce a limiting (and very real) factor to the project? Featured in Wired, the Royal College of Arts (RCA) recently unveiled 10 progressive automobile designs that all take into account our current limiting factor of petroleum and...

Powerstick
Providing a rechargeable, on-the-go power source for most any portable device, Powerstick is a convenient little accessory well-suited for travelers, busy people or anyone who stays out all night and has an iPhone. After a couple of close calls (I admit I may be a little overdependent on my phone/forget to plug it in sometimes), I'm a fan.The lithium battery charges via USB and...

PowerFilm Foldable Solar Battery Charger
This weatherproof solar charger was created for the military and is now available to the public. Going camping? A day at the beach? When you're off the grid and can't bear not reading the latest on Cool Hunting? Throw this baby in your backpack (along with your GPS, satellite phone, PSP, etc.) because it is small and portable and cranks out enough power to...

Fairpack
Fairpack is Central Saint Martins student Mark Hadfield's Master's thesis and plan to reinvent the shopping bag as we know it. Still in development, Hadfield's project tasks designers with creating a graphic to adorn biodegradable plastic bags, recycled paper bags, and cotton bags as low-cost replacements for standard less eco-friendly sacks. His mission fuses ethics, design, and environmentalism to "unbrand" the common grocery bag,...

Biodegradable Mobile Phones
Well... not the entire phone. University of Warwick, together with PVAXX R&D, have created a prototype mobile phone casing, made of a biodegradable polymer. To exaggerate (and beautify) the point, they embedded a sunflower seed in the case so that once it goes back to the earth a sun flower will grow. via Treehugger...
