“It aint easy being green...” as the song goes.  But as human society faces dwindling natural resources, demand for greater power production from expanding populations, and earth impacts due to our activities, the need for a more responsible way to live together has become critical.  Yet as voices grow for more and more conservation, it quickly becomes apparent that the shear number of the inhabitants of our planet together with population increase every year, simply doesn’t allow us to conserve our way into sustainability.  

So how do we build a sustainable future?  Should we retreat to a pre-industrial society to insure that our planet can provide for us?  Can we put the Genie back into the bottle?  We seek another way...  Our approach is to use the principles of nanoengineering/nanoscience to develop radical new technologies in compact, efficient and affordable power generation such as Solar Cells, Thermoelectrics, and Solar-Biofuels.  Power utilization technologies balance out our portfolio of research with: Highly Efficient Lighting, Advanced Batteries and Highly Efficient Organic Electronics.
