Bringing Sunlight Inside
Photovoltaic panels have a
new design: concentric
circles that focus the sun's
rays on miniaturized
modules. Having the panels
automatically sense sunlight
and turn towards it also

Physicist Calls for Airline Industry to Educate Workers about Radiation Levels
At the high altitudes and latitudes commercial airlines fly, crews are subjected to higher-than-normal radiation levels from the sun and cosmic rays. Physicist Robert Barish believes airline crew ... > more -
Roboticists Create Rover To Move And Drill On The Moon
Engineers and robiticists created a robot to explore the moon. Running on the same amount of power as a 100-watt light bulb the rover uses heat from radiation to support its sensors, movement, and ... > more -
Astronomers Need Your Help To Find Planets Outside Our Solar System
A new distributed computing program analyzes data to characterize new planetary systems by computing the light reflected from nearby extrasolar planets and the wobble the planets cause in their stars ... > more -
Biological Engineers Generate Natural Gas with Bacteria
A new kind of waste digester uses two different strains of bacteria in different tanks. This would normally take place in the same environment, but microbiologists have now separated it into two ... > more -
Industrial Hygienists Suggest Watching Out For Mold When Going Green
Industrial hygienists found that mold, rot, and corrosion are dangers that must be accounted for when builders construct energy-efficient homes. Recycled materials used in this type of construction ... > more -
Mechanical Engineers' Device Helps Electricity Conservation
Smart meters are small computers that provide real-time information on how much electricity is being used by each customer and when, and can relay information back to the head office over the very ... > more -
Mechanical Engineering Students Develop High-Altitude Reconnaissance Airships
On a shoestring, and with off-the-shelf components, students are designing prototypes of robotic blimp that could one day be used by the Pentagon. Cheaper than spy satellites, blimps can hover in ... > more -
Engineers Test Ventilated Seats And Thermal-Acoustic System To Make A/C Energy-Efficient
Engineers at a national lab have shown that small fans embedded in car seats could help cool passengers down -- saving up to 7 percent of the 30 to 40 gallons of gasoline per year an average driver ... > more -
Environmental Engineers Detect Turbines' Turbulence Effects
Wind farms may have an impact on local weather patterns. As environmental engineers have discovered, wind farm propellers create a lot of turbulence in their wake, mixing air up and down with effects ... > more -
Automotive Engineers Team Up to Improve Energy-Saving Technology
Mechanical and electrical engineers at DaimlerChrysler, General Motors and BMW have jointly developed a hybrid-vehicle technology that shuts the internal combustion engine off when the vehicle stops. ... > more
