Ever since J.J. Thompson’s 1897 discovery of the electron, scientists have attempted to describe the subatomic particle’s motion using a variety of different means. Electrons are far too small and fast to be seen, even with the help of a light microscope. This has made measuring an electron’s movement very…
At the Alpine headquarters of the 121-year-old crystal maker, sparkle now competes with Silicon Valley as the company refashions itself as an incubator. Read more here:: http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2016/10/09/technology/inside-swarovskis-world.html
Cheap shale gas produced by fracking has driven the decline in coal production in the United States during the last decade, researchers have found. Read more here:: http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/matter_energy/solar_energy/~3/sj3HkAqNQdE/161007105548.htm
A novel system has been created that allows the storage energy in molten silicon which is the most abundant element in Earth’s crust. The system has patent pending status in the United States, and aims to develop a new generation of low cost solar thermal stations and becoming a innovative…
The structure of the palladium catalyst for hydrogen oxidation in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells has been revealed by scientists. Contrary to current views the results, obtained by applying X-ray spectroscopy under operating conditions, indicate the existence of a hydride phase throughout the operating range.

Last October, a catastrophic rupture in the Aliso Canyon natural gas reservoir caused a methane gas spill that displaced more than 8,000 Californians and released an unprecedented 1.6 million pounds of methane into the atmosphere. Today, the Aliso Canyon leak is considered the worst in U.S. history, with aggregate greenhouse…
Neckarsulm, 6. October 2016 – KACO new energy has signed a deal with the Turkish Aldo Grup to supply inverters having a total capacity of 50 megawatts. The blueplanet 50.0 TL3 INT units from the Germany-based manufacturer are to be used in a range of projects to be financed and…
Researchers have revealed how microalgae produce hydrogen, a clean fuel of the future, and suggest a possible mechanism to jumpstart mass production of this environmentally-friendly energy source.
