The projects of the EU initiative CONCERTO already illustrate how ideas presented at the trade fair can be put into practice. In the scope of the CONCERTO 58…
University of Minnesota engineering researchers are leading an international team that has made a major breakthrough in developing a catalyst used during…
AgriLife Research scientists from the Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Service center at Vernon, Dr. Seong Park, economist; Dr. Jim Ansley, range…
“We were able to create solar cells using a ‘nanoscale sandwich’ design with an ultra-thin ‘active’ layer,” says Dr. Linyou Cao, an assistant professor of…
Such power plants have to be customized in line with the given terrain, weather conditions, customer requirements, and the types of solar modules to be used in…
As reported in the current issue of the magazine Pictures of the Future, the “vegetable-oil transformers” are safer and more environmentally friendly than…
With fossil fuels a limited resource largely controlled by other nations, the U.S. Navy—the largest user of diesel fuel in the country—understandably is…
Researchers creating electricity through photovoltaics want to convert as many of the sun’s wavelengths as possible to achieve maximum efficiency. Otherwise,…
Semiconductor chip makers first began the production of three-dimensional (3D) transistors in 2011. Engineers can pack more 3D transistors onto a single chip…
The data come from a six-ton buoy that was deployed at three locations in the lake: two points near the Muskegon shoreline and about 35 miles off shore. Loaded…
The design of a nature-inspired material that can make energy-storing hydrogen gas has gone holistic. Usually, tweaking the design of this particular catalyst…
At the atomic level, organic solar cells function like the feuding families in Romeo and Juliet. There’s a strong natural attraction between the positive and…
“These energy bugs are a silent battery killer,” said Y. Charlie Hu, a Purdue University professor of electrical and computer engineering. “A fully charged…
By incorporating much of the technology which has been proven by GE in the healthcare sector over four decades, the new CT system is up to 200 times faster…
The researchers showed the devices kept working despite intense ionizing radiation and heat by dipping them for two hours into the core of the University of…
University of Utah physicists developed an inexpensive, highly accurate magnetic field sensor for scientific and possibly consumer uses based on a “spintronic”…
