Milky Way black hole snacks on hot gas

Posted: 07 May 2013 05:15 PM PDT

The Herschel space observatory has made detailed observations of surprisingly hot gas that may be orbiting or falling towards the supermassive black hole lurking at the center of our Milky Way galaxy.

Value in concentrating solar power to add to electric grid calculated

Posted: 07 May 2013 04:58 PM PDT

Researchers have quantified the significant value that concentrating solar power plants can add to an electric grid.

20-million-year-old amber shatters theories of glass as a liquid

Posted: 07 May 2013 12:49 PM PDT

Fact or fiction? Stained glass found in medieval cathedrals becomes thicker at the bottom because glass moves over time. For years researchers have had their doubts, now scientists have further evidence that glass is not going anywhere.

New mechanism converts natural gas to energy faster, captures carbon dioxide

Posted: 07 May 2013 09:48 AM PDT

Chemical engineering researchers have identified a new mechanism to convert natural gas into energy up to 70 times faster, while effectively capturing the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.

Cleaner, low temperature nuclear fuels?

Posted: 07 May 2013 08:55 AM PDT

The search for cleaner, low temperature nuclear fuels has produced a surprising result for a team of experts. First they created a stable version of a 'trophy molecule' that has eluded scientists for decades. Now they have discovered that the bonding within this molecule is far different than expected. Remarkably their findings have shown that it behaves in much the same way as its counterparts in the well-known transitional metals such as chromium, molybdenum and tungsten.

Magnetic vortex antennas for wireless data transmission

Posted: 07 May 2013 07:54 AM PDT

Three-dimensional magnetic vortices have recently been discovered. Vortex states are potential antennas for the ultrafast, wireless data transmission of tomorrow.

Chaos proves superior to order

Posted: 07 May 2013 03:08 AM PDT

Physicists have demonstrated that chaos can beat order - at least as far as light storage is concerned.

A giant leap to commercialization of polymer solar cell technology

Posted: 06 May 2013 06:45 AM PDT

Researchers in Korea have demonstrated high-performance polymer solar cells (PSCs) with power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.92% which is the highest values reported to date for plasmonic PSCs using metal nanoparticles (NPs).
