Queen's scientists discover giant solar twists
Scientists at Queen's University have made a finding that will help us to understand more about the turbulent solar weather and its affect on our planet. view more (2009-03-20)
Atmospheric 'Sunshade' Could Reduce Solar Power Generation
The concept of delaying global warming by adding particles into the upper atmosphere to cool the climate could unintentionally reduce peak electricity generated by large solar power plants by as much as one-fifth, according to a new NOAA study. The findings appear in this week's issue of Environmental Science and Technology. view more (2009-03-12)
New spaceship force field makes Mars trip possible
According to the international space agencies, "Space Weather" is the single greatest obstacle to deep space travel. Radiation from the sun and cosmic rays pose a deadly threat to astronauts in space. view more (2008-11-04)
New Technique Studies How Plastic Solar Cells Turn Sunlight into Electricity
A new analytical technique that uses infrared spectroscopy to study light-sensitive organic materials could lead to the development of cheaper, more efficient solar cells. view more (2006-12-12)
Unusual meteorite unlocks treasure trove of solar system secrets
An unusual meteorite that fell on a frozen lake in Canada five years ago has led a Florida State University geochemist to a breakthrough in understanding the origin of the chemical elements that make up our solar system. view more (2005-09-28)
Carbon dioxide emissions predicted to reduce density of Earth's outermost atmosphere by 2017
Carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels will produce a 3 percent reduction in the density of Earth's outermost atmosphere by 2017, according to a team of scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and Pennsylvania State University (PSU). view more (2006-12-12)
Satellite shows regional variation in warming from sun during solar cycle
A NASA satellite designed, built and controlled by the University of Colorado at Boulder is expected to help scientists resolve wide-ranging predictions about the coming solar cycle peak in 2012 and its influence on Earth's warming climate, according to the chief scientist on the project. view more (2007-11-14)
Mars 96: UK Involvement In The Russian Mission
The Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council had awarded more than £1/2 million funding for work by UK scientists involved in several of the MARS 96 mission's payload and systems. The largest UK contribution was from the Mullard Space Science Laboratory, led by Principal Investigator Professor Alan Johnstone. Mullard designed and... view more... (1996-11-18)
Quantum analog of Ulam's conjecture can guide molecules, reactions
Like navigating spacecraft through the solar system by means of gravity and small propulsive bursts, researchers can guide atoms, molecules and chemical reactions by utilizing the forces that bind nuclei and electrons into molecules (analogous to gravity) and by using light for propulsion. view more (2007-08-08)
Lasers are making solar cells competitive
Solar electricity has a future: It is renewable and available in unlimited quantities, and it does not produce any gases detrimental to the climate. view more (2009-06-01)
How the Moon produces its own water
The Moon is a big sponge that absorbs electrically charged particles given out by the Sun. These particles interact with the oxygen present in some dust grains on the lunar surface, producing water. view more (2009-10-15)
Geoengineering could slow down the global water cycle
As fossil fuel emissions continue to climb, reducing the amount of sunlight hitting the Earth would definitely have a cooling effect on surface temperatures. view more (2008-05-28)
Research highlights potential for improved solar cells
A team of Los Alamos researchers led by Victor Klimov has shown that carrier multiplication-when a photon creates multiple electrons-is a real phenomenon in tiny semiconductor crystals and not a false observation born of extraneous effects that mimic carrier multiplication. The research, explained in a recent issue of Accounts of Chemical... view more... (2009-02-11)
Football and Psychics in Final Round of Millennium Awards Scheme
The final round of the scheme has seen further innovative and unusual means for promoting science, engineering and technology. Stockport County fans are finding science cartoons in their match day magazines. Psychics are being challenged by an exhibition on the science of the paranormal in London. Yorkshire cyclists are seeing stars as the solar... view more... (1999-06-07)
A bubbling ball of gas
The Sun is a bubbling mass. Packages of gas rise and sink, lending the sun its grainy surface structure, its granulation. Dark spots appear and disappear, clouds of matter dart up - and behind the whole thing are the magnetic fields, the engines of it all. view more (2009-11-12)
Nanocups brim with potential
Researchers at Rice University have created a metamaterial that could light the way toward high-powered optics, ultra-efficient solar cells and even cloaking devices. view more (2009-03-16)
PRESS CONFERENCE - Presentation of the UnivERsol project to promote the development of photovoltaic energy in Europe
On Monday 14th January at the Barcelona Science Park, a press conference will be held to mark the public presentation of the "UnivERsol" project (Universities, Renewable Energies, solar), which is co-financed by the Directorate General for Transport and Energy (DGTREN) of the European Commission. This project aims to promote the use of... view more... (2002-01-10)
The light and dark of Venus
Venus Express has revealed a planet of extraordinarily changeable and extremely large-scale weather. Bright hazes appear in a matter of days, reaching from the south pole to the low southern latitudes and disappearing just as quickly. view more (2008-02-22)
Launch Of Human Orrery
The Armagh Observatory's 'Human Orrery' is the first large outdoor exhibit in the world to show accurately the elliptical orbits and changing relative positions of the planets and other solar system bodies with time. It has been constructed with the support of the Northern Ireland Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure (DCAL) and is the first... view more... (2004-11-22)
Primitive asteroids in the main asteroid belt may have formed far from the sun
Many of the objects found today in the asteroid belt located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter may have formed in the outermost reaches of the solar system. view more (2009-07-16)
