Power Grid of the Future Saves Energy
November 8, 2010 — Green energy too comes out of the electricity socket, but to get there it has to travel a long journey -- from wind turbines in the North Sea or regional solar, wind and biogas power plants. On the ... > full story -
Coronal Mass Ejections: Scientists Unlock the Secrets of Exploding Plasma Clouds on the Sun
November 8, 2010 — The Sun sporadically expels trillions of tons of million-degree hydrogen gas in explosions called coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Such clouds are enormous in size (spanning millions of miles) and are ... > full story -
NASA Extends TIMED Mission for Fourth Time
November 5, 2010 — Nine years after beginning its unprecedented look at the gateway between Earth's environment and space, not to mention collecting more data on the upper atmosphere than any other satellite, NASA's ... > full story -
Offshore Wind Farms: Low Loss Solutions for Transferring Current
November 5, 2010 — Using wind energy where the wind blows strongest makes perfect sense as long as the energy can be readily transported to where it is needed. The first offshore plants are already being erected, and ... > full story -
Easy Fabrication of Non-Reflecting and Self-Cleaning Silicon and Plastic Surfaces
November 4, 2010 — Scientists specializing in microfabrication and microfludics have developed a new and rapid method for fabrication of non-reflecting and self-cleaning surfaces. Surface properties are based on the ... > full story -
Transparent Conductive Material Could Lead to Power-Generating Windows
