Researchers are developing new green technology that helps to utilize farm waste and also safely store concentrated amounts of natural gas. Digitally painted for the National Science Foundation.
This illustration was digitally drawn for the National Science Foundation to help describe the Cyber-Physical Systems program, which works to help researchers integrate computer and sensor technology into the physical environment to improve safety and communication in the future.
A thin layer of dye particles helps to absorb and transfer the energy of the sun, increasing the efficiency of current solar technology. Digitally painted for the National Science Foundation.
In the near future, cars will be equipped with sensor technology that communicates between vehicles so that drivers can instantaneously warned of unexpected danger. For instance, a driver can be alerted with ample warning to a car breaking for a family of ducks crossing the road. This 3-D illustration was created for the Department of Transportation.
Created for the May 2009 cover of Earth Magazine, this art represents smart-grid technology. Smart-grid technology's goal is to efficiently use energy where it is needed, sharing it with communities that have higher demand, and making the most of limited resources: both existing energy sources, and renewable energy.
