Our big carbon footprints: A class of MIT students in mechanical engineering has studied the carbon footprints of different lifestyles, from the homeless to multimillionaires. And the results are both fascinating and frightening. According to the study, even the people with the lowest incomes in the U.S. emit twice more carbon than the average...; Tags: U.S., Massachusetts Institute Of Technology, Carbon, Carbon Footprint, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2008-04-29
Hydrogen-powered cars with zero-carbon-emission?: Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology have a bright idea -- at least at first sight. They want to create a sustainable transportation system by using hydrogen-powered cars. They would like to create an infrastructure where people could use a liquid fuel for driving while the carbon emission in...; Tags: Georgia Institute Of Technology, Georgia Tech, Hydrogen, Carbon, Carbon Emission, Transportation, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2008-02-14
Will diatoms lead to faster computer chips?: Diatoms are unicellular algae and one of the most common types of phytoplankton. One of their main characteristics is they encase themselves in shells made of silica. According to a team of U.S. researchers who successfully decoded the genome of a particular diatom named Thalassiosira pseudonana, these very small algae...; Tags: Computer Chip, Carbon Dioxide, Shell, University Of Washington, Gene, Ocean, Carbon, Computer, Chip, Semiconductors, Productivity, Network Technology, Hardware, Networking, Roland Piquepaille; Blog posts 2008-01-24
TerraPass targets businesses with latest offset program: OK, this week seems to be the week for carbon offset related hoohah. I spoke last night with TerraPass, the well-known consumer-faced offset provider, about a new program they're offering for business types. So, if you've been tasked with helping your employer get greener in 2008, you should read...; Tags: Energy, Carbon, TerraPass, Emissions Information, Servers, Hardware, Heather Clancy; Blog posts 2008-01-17
Corporate carbon knowledge is the first step in reduction: Yesterday, I wrote about the attitude shift that needs to happen at the corporate level for green tech to have a fighting chance. Since most CXO types are really, ultimately, focused on the bottom line, the only real way to get their attention is by showing them the numbers. And...; Tags: Green Technology, Knowledge, Carbon, Carbon Knowledge, Carbonetworks Software, Heather Clancy; Blog posts 2008-01-12

A crystal as beautiful as a diamond: A crystal as beautiful as a diamondSynthetic diamondIf the K4 were synthesized by constructing it with carbon atoms, how would that differ from simply being a synthetic diamond, which already exists? Carbon is capable of bonding in that formation because of its atomic structure. Theoretically, any atom with the same...; Tags: Gender and diversity, flaw, carbon, diamond, crystal; Discussion threads 2008-01-05
Plastic is good for our environment (and computers): The computer industry should increase its use of plastics and reconsider its use of some recyclable materials. This is not a contrarian position but a reasonable one, imho. Consider this: Plastic is made from oil: --You can either burn oil and...; Tags: Environment, Carbon, Computer, Productivity, Tom Foremski; Blog posts 2007-11-30
Aussie water rage kills one during hot election season; and now carbon gets hot, too: First, you must remember it's the austral spring. Australia is warming up for another hot season. And they've had seven years of drought.

ZDNet reader: If carbon Black were really that carcinogenic, we'd all be dead: At least one ZDNet reader thinks that the laser printer emissions issue that I've been covering is much ado about nothing.On the heels of the publication of an Australian study that found certain laser printers to emit unhealthy concentrations of particles, one of the big questions is whether those particle...; Tags: Laser Printer, Particle, Laser, Carbon, David Berlind; Blog posts 2007-08-09
HP on potentially dangerous laser printer emissions: Our printers no riskier than toasters: In yesterday's blog post about the potentially dangerous laser printer emissions that were uncovered by Queensland University of Technology in Australia, I noted that HP's LaserJets bore the brunt of the study's findings and that I'd follow up when HP delivered the response it promised.
