We’d thought the thing were on their way, scoring EPA certification back in December and, in theory, almost ready to roll. Turns out Department of Transportation approval is taking a little longer than anticipated, and so the $32,995, 65mph, 100 mile range cars still aren’t fully road legal. The company has indicated it’s received 500 orders for the things, orders which it hopes to start shipping by the end of this month. Given how many X’s we have on our calendar this month that may prove to be optimistic as well, but still probably more realistic than your chances of getting a Leaf this year .

While perhaps not being quite as useful as towels, ropes are might handy things to have. With them you can attach things to other things and, well, that’s really their primary use. But what if those things are small? Really small. You need nanoropes of the sort created at the Molecular Foundry, braids that measure just 600 nanometers in diameter. A sheet of paper? About 100,000 nanometers thick. Perhaps even more interesting than their scale is how they were constructed, formed of polypeptoids that self-assemble into the coiling double helix you see above. Possible uses? Right now this is a part of experiments to create more complex nanoscale structures, but we could totally see them being used to, you know, tie tiny things together.

January 19, 2011 No Comment
#tweetmasdar The World Future Energy Summit brings heads of state, clean tech pioneers, and businessfolk from around the world to the oil-rich capital Abu Dhabi to hold forth on the future of energy. That being the case, it also brings in a truckload of media to cover it all. Typically, between filing stories, we media folk just gossip amongst ourselves about the goings on — cleantech rumors, who’s greenwashing where, and what the future of energy technology really is. We also… Read the full story on TreeHugger

January 19, 2011 No Comment
Images Credit Daiwa Cameron Sinclair is so going to want 10,000 of these amazing robotic shipping container sized instant houses. EDV stands for Emergency Disaster Vehicles, but it is really a pushbutton house that leaves Adam Kalkin in its wake. It is actually rather clever; the lower level has all the complicated plumbing a… Read the full story on TreeHugger
