| Postcards from the plasma edge: How lithium conditions the volatile edge of fusion plasmas Posted: 28 Oct 2014 09:26 AM PDT For magnetic fusion energy to fuel future power plants, scientists must find ways to control the interactions that take place between the volatile edge of the plasma and the walls that surround it in fusion facilities. Such interactions can profoundly affect conditions at the superhot core of the plasma in ways that include kicking up impurities that cool down the core and halt fusion reactions. |
| Helping upgrade the U.S. power grid: Advanced power-conversion switch Posted: 28 Oct 2014 09:26 AM PDT When researchers at General Electric Co. sought help in designing a plasma-based power switch, they turned to the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. The proposed switch could contribute to a more advanced and reliable electric grid and help to lower utility bills. |
| Lights out: Urgent need to address instability of world's power supplies Posted: 28 Oct 2014 07:13 AM PDT A new study reveals the urgent need to address instabilities in the supply of electrical power to counteract an increase in the frequency and severity of urban power outages. |
| Deepwater Horizon spill: Much of the oil at bottom of the sea Posted: 27 Oct 2014 03:29 PM PDT Due to its unprecedented scope, the damage assessment caused by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico has been a challenge. One unsolved puzzle is the location of 2 million barrels of submerged oil thought to be trapped in the deep ocean. |
