PediPower, Shoes That Generate Power With Every Step
A group of engineering students at Rice University have created PediPower, a pair of shoes that store energy generated with each step. Right now the PediPower prototype generates about enough energy to charge a battery in laboratory tests and a little less in real-world, walking tests. The project will likely be picked up by another [...]
Top-class biofuel from the depths of the forest
Tops and branches from tree-felling sites are reborn in the laboratory as compact pellets. However, the energy industry will not act until the price is right.
Whirlpools on the nanoscale could multiply magnetic memory
"We spent 15 percent of home energy on gadgets in 2009, and we're buying more gadgets all the time," says Peter Fischer of the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). Fischer lets you know right...Show More Summary
Solar And Lithium Ion Car Race Winners Announced
Ninety-seven teams from 28 Colorado schools participated in today’s car competitions hosted by the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The student teams raced solar and lithium ion powered vehicles they designed and built themselves. Show More Summary
DNA-guided assembly yields novel ribbon-like nanostructures
UPTON, NY-Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have discovered that DNA "linker" strands coax nano-sized rods to line up in way unlike any other spontaneous arrangement of rod-shaped objects. The...Show More Summary
Long-Predicted Fractal Energy Pattern Observed For First Time By Physicists
Forty years ago, a mysterious and beautiful “butterfly-shaped” magnetic energy pattern was theorized by famed physicist and Pulitzer Prize winning writer Douglas Hofstadter. But due to previous limitations in the laboratory technology used to generate strong magnetic fields, this pattern had here-to-fore never materialized. Show More Summary
Never-before-seen energy pattern observed at National High Magnetic Field Laboratory
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Two research teams at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (MagLab) broke through a nearly 40-year barrier recently when they observed a never-before-seen energy pattern. The butterfly-shaped pattern was first...Show More Summary
