New Research Turns Sewage Farms into Power Plants
Researchers at the University of Warwick's Warwick Process Technology Group have devised a process that turns wet waste from sewage farms and paper mills into a source of power. University of Warwick researcher Dr Ashok Bhattacharya and his team are part of a Europe wide consortium that have cracked the problem of how to extract very pure levels... view more... (2002-04-29)
Electricity: Transforming our current system
A long-term replacement strategy for Britain's ageing electricity network is being developed. It involves the use of computer modelling techniques to simulate the conditions under which a new system would operate. This would indicate how investment should be made in the electricity distribution network to best serve society in the long run. The... view more... (2001-12-05)
Detection of the "island effect" is solved
The "island effect" is one of the main problems in photovoltaic compound solar systems. The doctoral thesis of Pablo Sanchis, presented in the Public University of Navarre (Basque Country), proposes three main contributions: the first one is a new control strategy of a booster inverter for autonomous systems; the second one is a new... view more...

UCF researchers' breakthrough may help industry create more powerful computer chips
A University of Central Florida research team has made a substantial inroad toward establishing extreme ultraviolet light (EUV) as a primary power source for manufacturing the next generation of computer chips. view more (2006-10-12)
Sandia invention to make parabolic trough solar collector systems more energy efficient
A mirror alignment measurement device, invented by Rich Diver, a researcher at Sandia National Laboratories, may soon make one of the most popular solar collector systems, parabolic troughs, more affordable and energy efficient. view more (2007-05-16)
'Instant on' computing
The ferroelectric materials found in today's "smart cards" used in subway, ATM and fuel cards soon may eliminate the time-consuming booting and rebooting of computer operating systems by providing an "instant-on" capability as well as preventing losses from power outages. view more (2009-04-20)
A Police Woman Fights Quantum Hacking and Cracking
The first desktop computers changed the way we managed data forever. Three decades after their introduction, we rely on them to manage our time, social life and finances - and to keep this information safe from prying eyes and online predators. view more (2009-07-31)
New approach removes sulfur from military-grade fuel; Syngas powers the process
The military needs to get the sulfur out of its fuel, in order to use the fuel to produce hydrogen for fuel cell use in the field. view more (2006-03-29)
From Darwin to Adelaide, the length of Australia, 3010 kilometres, without fuel!
On 19 October 30 cars will be jostling for position at the start of the 7th World Solar Challenge in Darwin, Australia. After winning in 2001 with Nuna I, the Nuon Solar Team, from the Netherlands, will be bidding to retain their title. The strong team of twelve from Delft University of Technology and Erasmus University Rotterdam are determined... view more... (2003-10-17)
Optical wireless and broadband over power lines: High speed, secure Wi-Fi alternative
Penn State engineers have shown that a white-LED system for lighting and high data-rate indoor wireless communications, coupled with broadband over either medium- or low-voltage power line grids (BPL), can offer transmission capacities that exceed DSL or cable and are more secure than RF. view more (2006-01-12)
Arizona State scientists keep an eye on Martian dust storm
Scientists at Arizona State University's Mars Space Flight Center are using the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) on NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter to monitor a large dust storm on the Red Planet. view more (2007-07-12)
University shapes transport of the future
Electrically powered planes and ships which are lighter, can travel further, cause less pollution and have oil-free engines are a step closer to becoming a reality, as a new centre for research at The University of Manchester opens today (Friday, November 12). view more (2004-11-17)
PowerNap plan could save 75 percent of data center energy
Putting idle servers to sleep when they're not in use is part of University of Michigan researchers' plan to save up to 75 percent of the energy that power-hungry computer data centers consume. view more (2009-03-06)
New Study Sheds Light on the Growing U.S. Wind Power Market
For the fourth consecutive year, the U.S. was home to the fastest-growing wind power market in the world in 2008, according to a report released by the U.S. Department of Energy and prepared by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). view more (2009-07-20)
Reactor of the future destroys nuclear waste--KTH to head major EU project to cut storage times dramatically
A power plant that generates energy from used nuclear waste and destroys it as well. Could this become a reality? A three-year research project involving 23 European partners coordinated by KTH is being launched to investigate the matter. In the last few years great strides have been taken in research into so-called transmutation (see footnote)... view more... (2004-03-18)
Random antenna arrays boost emergency communications
First responders could boost their radio communications quickly at a disaster site by setting out just four extra transmitters in a random arrangement to significantly increase the signal power at the receiver, according to theoretical analyses, simulations and proof-of-concept experiments performed at the National Institute of Standards and... view more...
