| Solar energy-driven process could revolutionize oil sands tailings reclamation Posted: 23 Sep 2014 03:21 PM PDT A civil engineering research team has developed a new way to clean oil sands process affected water and reclaim tailings ponds in Alberta's oil sands industry. Using sunlight as a renewable energy source instead of UV lamps, and adding chlorine to the tailings, oil sands process affected water is decontaminated and detoxified -- immediately. |
| Interface surprises may motivate novel oxide electronic devices Posted: 23 Sep 2014 11:25 AM PDT Complex oxides have long tantalized the materials science community for their promise in next-generation energy and information technologies. Complex oxide crystals combine oxygen atoms with assorted metals to produce unusual and very desirable properties. |
| State policies effective in reducing power plant emissions, study finds Posted: 23 Sep 2014 10:14 AM PDT Different strategies used by states to reduce power plant emissions -- direct ones such as emission caps and indirect ones like encouraging renewable energy -- are both effective, a study has found. The study is the first analysis of its kind, the authors report. |
| Properties in nanocomposite oxide ceramics for reactor fuel Posted: 23 Sep 2014 09:15 AM PDT The relationship between the termination chemistry and the dislocation structure of the interface offers potential avenues for tailoring transport properties and radiation damage resistance of oxide nanocomposites. |
| Magnetized fusion technique produces significant results: 'Break-even' point close Posted: 23 Sep 2014 07:17 AM PDT Working with two magnetic fields and a laser, all at low points of their power outputs, Sandia's Z machine has released neutrons in an amount surprisingly close to 'break-even' fusion. |
| Smart meters could cause conflict for housemates Posted: 23 Sep 2014 07:15 AM PDT Arguments about whose turn it is to do the washing up, negotiating rights to the TV remote control and disputes over noise -- as many students returning to university for the new academic year are about to learn the hard way, sharing a house can be a tricky business. And now research has revealed that new technology to allow people to monitor their energy usage in the home could be about to ratchet up the tension. |
| New computer model to aid greener, leaner aircraft design Posted: 23 Sep 2014 05:59 AM PDT A computer model that accurately predicts how composite materials behave when damaged will make it easier to design lighter, more fuel-efficient aircraft. |
