Nano-Spike catalysis; discovery of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory made a bit… by chance! The process makes it possible to obtain ethanol from CO2, electricity and water in the presence of a specific nano-catalyst called Nano-Spike. The announced yield on electricity is 60 to 70% which is acceptable on condition that renewable electricity is used (the process […]
The performance of electric transport depends heavily on the quality of their batteries. It is currently the real Achilles heel which limits the development of electric propulsion, as well in road transport as maritime and… that air of course. We present to you a quick little state of the art of the performance of Lithium-Polymer batteries currently on the […]

Ivan Makhonine, an unknown genius? Ivan Makhonine is relatively "known" for his process of liquefying coal and lignite (process which ruined him but that is another story) but much less for his other works. Here is a small press review which presents some of his other works and completes […]
Because we have found that Research generally suffers from a miscommunication, we would like to try to address this alarming fact modestly. Are you a student or researcher and you want to publicize or recognize your work in order to find partners or industrial opportunities? Or simply to return them […]
Independent inventors and the NIH syndrome These videos show the problems encountered by independent inventors in trying to promote their ideas to industrialists or companies. The blockage encountered has a name: the NIH syndrome: Not Invented Here, in other words in French, the syndrome “Pas Inventé Ici”! This NIH syndrome is good for […]
