Solar cells have attracted global attention as one of the cornerstones of alternative energy. In theory, it seems to make abundant sense to tap into the energy…
Since 1727, scientists and engineers have used Young’s modulus as a measure of the stiffness of a given material. Defined as the ratio of stress (such as the…
This is an important step for the European Microwave community. Experiences from other sectors clearly demonstrate the importance and impact of collaboration…
The main objective of this project is the construction of a 30m cable and the terminals needed to connect it to the network, which will be built with the…
In America, helium is running out of gas. The element that lifts things like balloons, spirits and voice ranges is being depleted so rapidly in the world's…
Bypassing decades-old conventions in making computer chips, Princeton engineers developed a novel way to replace silicon with carbon on large surfaces,…
The new version, developed through research led by Yi Cui, assistant professor of materials science and engineering, produces 10 times the amount of…
If researcher Martin Aagesen’s future solar cells meet the expectations, both your economy and the environment will benefit from the research. Less than 1 per…
“Well, now you have seen the individual sensors and special tools. Shall I put the robots into action?”SINTEF scientist Pål Liljebäck looks a question at me….
A team of Stanford researchers set out to find answers in a recent study of the California coast and will present their research during a Dec. 13 poster…
Its drawback is that it only releases hydrogen at quite high temperatures (above 300C). The team at the ESRF has found a new form of the compound that could…
The production of wind power varies and is harder to forecast than the fluctuations in electricity demand. Adding large quantities of wind power to power…
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, along with collaborators in Turkey and Japan, have created a compact device that…
With the recent arrival of the new IBM Blue Gene/P and the lab’s development of advanced computer models, Argonne has a critical role in making it possible to…
Setting a new paradigm in international scientific collaboration, the two day meeting in Cadarache France brought together top scientific statesmen and…
CSIRO and Cleantech Ventures have invested in technology start-up Smart Storage Pty Ltd to develop and commercialise battery-based storage solutions.Director…
