Oil Peak and the Renewable Abiotic Petroleum
	We are living in a civilization based on oil. It is an issue that makes us extremely vulnerable. That's because of the global "Peak Oil." The oil production follows a bell curve. Its peak is the moment when oil has been 50% depleted. After the peak, oil production decreases while its price starts to go up. Many scientists, bankers and investors consider that 2005 was the year of global Peak Oil. US domestic oil ... [read more >>]

6 Facts About the Soils
	1. Soil is the fragile and loosened material covering most of the ground surface and supporting life. At an overall human population of 6 billion, 2.5 hectares of ground are corresponded to each person. But 70 % of the ground surface is of no use for humans: barren, frozen or snow covered areas, steep mountains, sand and stone deserts, or too thin soils. Of the remaining surface, two thirds is made of grasslands. Thus only 10 % of the ... [read more >>]

Organic Semiconductors Made with Grease
	Organic semiconductors have a good electrical conductivity, ranging between that of ordinary metals and that of insulating chemical compounds, but they have another advantage, given by their organic nature. Polyacetylene is a good example of organic semiconductors. Among future and present applications of these materials, organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and solar cells are the most famous, where their organic nature co ... [read more >>]
