A University of Toronto team led by Professor Ted Sargent has reported the development of the first two-layer quantum dot solar cell, that can be a game changer in the field of solar energy. The team has used two different specification of colloidal quantum dots ( CQS) , one tuned to absorb the visible part of the solar energy, and the other to absorb the infrared and near-infrared part of it, increasing the theoretical junction efficiency from 31 percent to 42 percent.

Simulate living life in the wilds of nature by taking a shower in the Phyto-Purification Bathroom. Using a natural filtering principal, this mix of modern design and nature is a mini eco-system able to recycle and regenerate gray water. A hydraulic system channels wastewater it through a collection of plants, starting the phyto-purification process. Each part of the plant plays a crucial role in cleaning the water — the sand where the reeds are planted provides the initial rough cleaning, and as the water passes through the roots, heavy metals and bacteria are removed. An ingenious concept, this living shower not only aids in water conservation, but also produces additional oxygen. The Phyto-Purification Bathroom is a concept developed by designers Jun Yasamoto, Alban Le Henry, Olivier Pigasse and Vincent Vandenbrouck.

As technology advances, our lives are increasingly integrated with electronics and the numerous convenience they provide. However, we are usually unaware of our own carbon footprint and the impact to the environment. Eco-pulse is a concept that aims to cultivate the habits of green consumers in their daily lives. It works by visualizing the electromagnetic fields as pulses on its display and thus allows the discovery of power usage that would otherwise remain hidden to consumers. It is intuitive as it amplifies the electronic pulse of appliances like a stethoscope. When appliances are in standby mode, Eco-pulse also enables the detection of vampire power that is being wasted.

Functionality, practicality and sustainability go hand in hand with the above pictured conception. Conceived by Taiwanese industrial designer Wei-Chih Hsu, and aptly dubbed as the Solar Stand, the contraption is basically a stylishly portable stand (for Smartphones and Tablets) that incorporates two solar panels along with a lithium-ion battery pack. So from the perspective of serviceability the showpiece stand/rack doubly acts up as a fully operational solar powered charger for a plethora of electronic gadgets.

Trash can is one reason that keeps our surroundings clean. But normally we throw all kinds of waste in one can; this poses a trouble while filtering different kinds of garbage. A team of nine members has designed Residuário para Eventos (Residuary Events), fit to be used at both homes and public places. The main aim was to make a product that will guide users on the environment and ecological level.
