The CUNY Energy Institute, which has been developing innovative low-cost batteries that are safe, non-toxic, and reliable with fast discharge rates and high…
Flat computers, powerful cell phones and tablets – the integrated circuits, our computers‘ power centers, are becoming increasingly smaller and more complex. The microchips in today‘s computers already contain some two billion transistors. To get the chip density right, the structures are exposed onto the chips by means of lithography. To be able to meet future requirements, the semi-conductor industry is planning to convert the exposure using a wavelength of 193 nm to a wavelength of just 13.5 nm. This can be achieved only with completely new radiation sources. …
The edacentrum, an Institution advancing research and development in the area of Electronic Design Automation, has produced an informative video clip…
However, while silicon-based circuits continue to shrink in size in the relentless pursuit of Moore’s Law — the prediction that the number of transistors that…
The debate over how to fundamentally change the world's massive energy system comes amid taxpayers' $500 million tab for the bankruptcy of Fremont, Calif.,…
The share of renewable energies in the overall energy mix is rising rapidly worldwide. With three-fi gure growth rates, photovoltaics (PV) play a major role….
One of the new virtual power plants enables the Munich municipal utility company to run six of its cogeneration modules, five hydroelectric facilities, and one…
This powerbridge will enable operators of solar or wind power facilities to logon to a virtual power plant through the Internet with just a few mouse clicks.The operators will retain full control over their facilities and can decide how much of them they wish to integrate into the virtual power plant. A non-commercial prototype of the system was presented at the Hanover Fair 2012 by the RegModHarz project team for renewable energy in the Harz region….
The intense interest in harvesting energy from heat sources has led to a renewed push to discover materials that can more efficiently convert heat into…
Scientists at USC have developed a potential pathway to cheap, stable solar cells made from nanocrystals so small they can exist as a liquid ink and be painted…
The allocation is a key part of the team’s efforts to conduct larger, data-intensive computations related to its Clean Energy Project (CEP), which combines the…
Experiments reported this week* verify the sensor's potential for biomedical applications such as studying mental processes and advancing the understanding of…
Imagine owning a television with the thickness and weight of a sheet of paper. It will be possible, someday, thanks to the growing industry of printed…
“Metal oxides are cheap, abundant and ‘green,’” said Louis Piper, assistant professor of physics at Binghamton University. “And as the study proved, quite…
To produce the maximum amount of energy, solar cells are designed to absorb as much light from the Sun as possible. Now researchers from the University of…
