Researchers at the University of Leeds and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have now found a way to manage these short-lived draws on the electricity grid that…
The pain of losing a body part is twofold, as the patients not only suffer from wound pain. Often they are also affected by so called phantom pain. Unlike…
Wielding two claws, a motor and a tail that swings like a grandfather clock's pendulum, a small robot named ROCR (“rocker”) scrambles up a carpeted, 8-foot…
The technology, referred to as Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC), is described in the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy, which is published by…
The change to nickel can reduce the cell's already low material costs by 40 to 80 percent, says Lukasz Brzozowski, the director of the Photovoltaics Research…
However, concepts towards low-power electronics, smart power applications, CMOS image sensors, and CMOS derivatives providing extra functionalities are still…
A new membrane developed at the University of Rochester's Laboratory for Laser Energetics blocks gas from flowing through it when one color of light is shined…
Hydrogen has been tipped as a cleaner, greener alternative to fossil fuels. But scientists have struggled to find a way to make it that doesn't consume vast…
Gas power plants, which supply electricity to meet peak demands, must work reliably and come on line rapidly, especially in the cold times of the year.For…
Alan Hansen, professor of agricultural and biological engineering at the University of Illinois, and his colleagues are working to develop new technologies to…
Considered the nation’s university leader in pulsed power research, the center has directed two five-year university research initiatives supported by the…
The battery will look like a microchip, but with a vibrating core, and it will harness energy from almost anything that shakes. Applications for the…
The synthesis of a conjugated organic polymer–widely used as a conductive material in devices like light-emitting diodes, televisions and solar cells–could…
