| Streamlining thin film processing for electrodes, display screens Posted: 21 Nov 2014 08:18 AM PST Energy storage devices and computer screens may seem worlds apart, but they're not. When an electrical engineering professor teamed up with and computer scientists to make a less expensive supercapacitor for storing renewable energy, they developed a new plasma technology that will streamline the production of display screens.  |
| Nuclear reactor fuel behavior during a severe event Posted: 20 Nov 2014 03:34 PM PST A new discovery about the atomic structure of uranium dioxide will help scientists select the best computational model to simulate severe nuclear reactor accidents.  |
| Lean times ahead: Preparing for an energy-constrained future Posted: 19 Nov 2014 07:17 AM PST Some time this century, the era of cheap and abundant energy will end, and Western industrial civilization will likely begin a long, slow descent toward a resource-limited future characterized by "involuntary simplicity."  |
| Clean energy 'bio batteries' a step closer Posted: 19 Nov 2014 05:47 AM PST Researchers are a step closer to enhancing the generation of clean energy from bacteria. A new report shows how electrons hop across otherwise electrically insulating areas of bacterial proteins, and that the rate of electrical transfer is dependent on the orientation and proximity of electrically conductive 'stepping stones'. It is hoped that this natural process can be used to improve 'bio batteries' which could produce energy for portable technology such as mobile phones, tablets and laptops – powered by human or animal waste.  |
