Wind energy is increasingly seen as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, as it contributes to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. It is estimated…
Data from the probe’s 1995 fireball has continued to confound those studying the mission. New simulations and faster computers point to bettering atmospheric entry vehicles….
Research on energy production from biomass usually focuses on the amount of energy generated. But it is also important to consider how much energy goes…
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have replicated one of the most well-known electromagnetic effects in physics, the Hall effect, using radio waves…
Next-generation single-photon source for quantum information science: Kwiat group achieves most efficient single-photon production ever. Over the last two decades, tremendous advances have been made…
Like atmospheric methane and carbon dioxide, ground-level ozone is on the rise. But ozone, a noxious chemical byproduct of fossil fuel combustion, has received relatively…
It is safe to say that 3D displays do not necessarily occur in nature – unless one considers the cephalopod, which includes the squid and…
