New Technology: Electric Cars and Home Charging Stations
In an era where gas prices are as high as they have ever been, and the average household more dependent on their cars than ever, some who can are choosing to switch to electric vehicles (EVs). More frequently than ever, car manufacturers are offering either hybrid or fully electric cars for reasonable fuel prices that beat even the reduced cost of natural gas.
Protect Your Home from Sudden Black Outs with Emergency Lights
Only when we face the actual event of a blackout or power outage do we really pay very much attention just how much our lives are dependent upon electric power. No matter what time of year that power is lost in a home, it can be incredibly uncomfortable and sometimes even dangerous for the residents of the house to suddenly be left in the dark.

Antimatter Discovered Around Earth
A ring of antimatter, more specifically antiprotons, has been recently discovered around the Earth. Since antiprotons are charged sub-atomic particles, they are confined by the planet's magnetic field lines.
Future Car Technologies – Alternative Fuel Vehicles
An alternative fuel vehicle is a vehicle that runs on an energy source other than conventional petroleum fuels (petrol or diesel). Due to a combination of factors, such as environmental concerns, high oil prices and the potential for peak oil, the development of alternative energy sources for vehicles will increase in the future. This article will list all the major currently existing alternative energy vehicle technologies.
Future Car Technologies
New cars are being developed in order to make them more sustainable, safer, more energy efficient, and less polluting. These won't exactly be the cars we've seen in science-fiction movies, but they should be a big improvement over what we have today.
