Two large buoys that are decked out with advanced scientific instruments will help more accurately predict offshore wind's power-producing potential.

Moving silicon atoms in graphene with atomic precision

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 08:24 AM PDT

In recent years, it has become possible to see directly individual atoms using electron microscopy -- especially in graphene, the one-atom-thick sheet of carbon. Scientists have now shown how an electron beam can move silicon atoms through the graphene lattice without causing damage. The research combines advanced electron microscopy with demanding computer simulations.

New family of materials for energy-efficient information storage and processing

Posted: 12 Sep 2014 08:24 AM PDT

Hexagonal rare earth ferrites have been demonstrated to exhibit both spontaneous electric and magnetic dipole moments (as a rare case), which may enable couplings of the static electric and magnetic fields in these materials, suggesting application in energy-efficient information storage and processing.

Cutting the cloud computing carbon cost
