Using 3D technology and interdisciplinary expertise, a research team has explored Buddhist temples in the remote Dolpo region of Nepal and digitized them for posterity In the high-altitude and extremely remote region of Dolpo in north-west Nepal, there are numerous Buddhist temples whose history dates back to the 11th century. The structures are threatened by earthquakes, landslides and planned infrastructure projects such as the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. There is also a lack of financial resources for long-term maintenance….
MIT researchers have developed a lightweight structure whose tiny blocks can be snapped together much like the bricks of a child's construction toy. The new…
The goal was to specifically investigate the utilization of microalgae produced from flue gas of the facilities of Vattenfall. The final report of the project…
Wind speed information greatly improves risk minimisation in the planning, construction and operation phases of offshore wind farms. When compared with…

Besides the “EAS-HSC”, the “EAS-HSE” (High-Speed Elements) now transmits significantly higher speeds – as a special version, even up to 20,000 rpm. This clutch…
Many modern office and administrative buildings attract the attention of passers-by with their large facades and glass surfaces. In order to put these surfaces…
Scientists would like to apply the same principles by which baking soda removes food odors from refrigerators or silica powder keeps moisture away from…
The “branching” vascular channels that circulate life-sustaining nutrients throughout leaves and hands serve as the inspiration for solar cells that can…
As soon as the grid connection has been established, the 30 Siemens wind turbines, with a capacity of 108 megawatts (MW), will start generating electricity. Riffgat will then be supplying climate-friendly power to some 120,000 homes….
Americans are increasingly installing wind turbines near their homes, farms and businesses to generate their own energy, concludes a new report released today.The 2012 Market Report on Wind Technologies in Distributed Applications is the first comprehensive analysis on a growing field called distributed wind, which involves generating wind energy close to where it will be used instead of purchasing power from large, centralized wind farms. Distributed wind can range from a small, solitary turbine in someone’s backyard to several large turbines that power a manufacturing facility or a neighborhood….
The tiny power supply measures less than half a centimetre across and is made from a flexible material, opening up the possibility for wearable electronics.The…
