The new method improves accuracy in calibrations of oscilloscopes, common test instruments that measure voltage in communications and electronics devices, and…
Researchers at Ohio State University are experimenting with polymer semiconductors that absorb the sun’s energy and generate electricity. The goal: lighter,…
They must be able to withstand high ambient temperatures and be particularly small, light and robust. What's more, they have to reliably capture all the…
Most life on earth depends on the sun to provide the energy needed to sustain its function. For more than a billion years, photosynthesis—a mechanism that has…
The new test bed, led by Birsen Yazici, associate professor of electrical, computer, and systems engineering, will allow simulations of radar systems that are…
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are developing ways to harden the microchips themselves against damage from various types of cosmic…

That's one potential application of a new battery made of cellulose, the stuff of paper, being described in the October 14 issue of ACS' Nano Letters, a…
Siemens Energy has successfully completed trial operation of the the world’s most powerful gas turbine, the SGT5-8000H, in the Irsching 4 power plant right on…
V2G vehicles work like an electrical sponge, capable of absorbing excess energy when demand for power is low, and returning some back to the electric grid when…
Researchers at MIT have shown the benefits of a new approach toward eliminating carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions at coal-burning power plants.Their system,…
Researchers would like to develop lithium-ion batteries using titanium dioxide, an inexpensive material.But titanium dioxide on its own doesn't perform well…
Module manufacturers sell their products all over the world. And yet, since unified standards are lacking, a location-specific, direct product comparison has…
A current IMS Research study has shown that the PV plant market is expected to grow by at least 30 per cent annually until 2013, with the expectation that the…
Scientists know the correct answer is that interplay between theory and experiments result in new advances. At times, experiment and technological development…
The gift from Wayne Laufer, a 1967 civil engineering graduate of Missouri S&T (then known as the University of Missouri-Rolla), and his wife, Gayle, will fund…
