The University of Maryland has received a $10.3 million federal grant to build an advanced physics lab. Rep. Steny H. Hoyer, a Southern Maryland Democrat, said the federal economic stimulus dollars will expand research and create jobs. The university plans to use the money to build a 21,000-square-foot Laboratory for Advanced Quantum Science. The underground [...] The search for more efficient fuels for nuclear reactors has received a nearly $1.2 million boost in the form of a U.S. Department of Energy grant to a research team headed by a UC Davis physics professor. The team will develop computer-driven models that will allow theoretical manipulation of the fuels and their behavior from [...] University of Utah researchers will inject cool water and pressurized water into a “dry” geothermal well during a five-year, $10.2 million study aimed at boosting the productivity of geothermal power plants and making them feasible nationwide. “Using these techniques to increase pathways in the rock for hot water and steam would increase availability of geothermal energy [...] CORVALLIS, Ore. – Chemical engineers at Oregon State University have invented a new technology to deposit “nanostructure films” on various surfaces, which may first find use as coatings for eyeglasses that cost less and work better. Ultimately, the technique may provide a way to make solar cells more efficiently produce energy. The films reduce the reflectance of [...] hawaii.edu Unwanted blooms of Cladophora algae throughout the Baltic and in other parts of the world are not entirely without a positive side. A group of researchers at the Ångström Laboratory at Uppsala University have discovered that the distinctive cellulose nanostructure of these algae can serve as an effective coating substrate for use in environmentally [...] A century after German physicist Gustav Mie derived the math to explain why the colors in some stained glass windows look especially resplendent in the sunlight, a team of Stanford engineers has built upon his work to potentially improve a means of harvesting energy from the sun. In 1907 Mie realized that tiny metal particles in [...] Stanford.edu From the Greek tragedy of Icarus to Leonardo da Vinci, birds have emboldened scientific minds to master flight. Now, Stanford researchers can be added to the list of ornithologically inspired innovators. A team of five doctoral students from the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics has conceptualized a way for commercial planes to save fuel by [...] Just months before world leaders are scheduled to meet to devise a new international treaty on climate change, a research team led by Princeton University scientists has developed a new way of dividing responsibility for carbon emissions among countries. The approach is so fair, according to its creators, that they are hoping it will win the [...] Obama Administration Announces $85 Million in Recovery Act Funding for Early Career Scientists’ Research WASHINGTON, DC— U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced today that up to $85 million in funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will be awarded in early 2010 to support at least 50 early career researchers for five years at U.S. [...] UC Berkley BERKELEY, CA – Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have demonstrated a way to fabricate efficient solar cells from low-cost and flexible materials. The new design grows optically active semiconductors in arrays of nanoscale pillars, each a single crystal, with dimensions [...] |
