		<description><![CDATA[The Parasolar concept by Oded Shorer serves two purposes &#8211; it keeps you cool by providing shade on those hot, sunny days while generating power from the very sunlight it is blocking. It folds up into a case that can be used to carry it with ease. When in use, Parasolar plugs into the carrying [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Designers Shane Ellis and Terry Brown have come up with an interesting way to remind us when we&#8217;re not being green &#8211; a power outlet that glows red when plugged-in appliances are consuming power. Many appliances and electronics continue to use power even when they are off, and this power outlet would be a great [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Researchers at GE have found a way to print OLEDs (Organic Light-Emitting Diodes) &#8220;roll-to-roll,&#8221; much like printing newspapers. The breakthrough, coming as a result of four years of work, will allow manufacturers to create OLEDs at a fraction of the cost. OLED technology is behind the flexible and e-ink displays popping up daily now, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scientists at England&#8217;s Swansea University are working to develop a paint which can be quickly applied to large steels sheets to generate power from the sun beaming down on them. This paint would be suited to warehouses and other buildings that are commonly covered with steel sheets.  It is based on dye-sensitised solar cells. Although [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Designers from Singapore have come up with a concept mouse that can use the heat generated by a laptop to power itself. The DORmino mouse works by placing an oversize mousepad under a laptop which then collects the extra heat and turns it into electricity using silicon nanowires. The electricity is then sent to the [...]]]></description>
