With these batteries things will be able to function without having to charge them, but they will gain their energy from sources like wind and the sun. However, these things will stop generating if the weather changes or when night time comes and there is no sun. There has been a component that has been [...]

Finding new “earth like” planets
May 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Physics
Researchers have recently created a “astro comb” that will aid in the finding of other earth like planets. The astro-comb uses a pulsed laser to filter starlight before feeding the signal into a spectrograph, which analyzes the energy spectrum of the light coming from the star or planet. They will use the astro comb to [...]

Biomass from decomposed plants and other sources may be able to be used as raw materials for the creation of fuel. this breakthrough could help us eventually find a way to create the fuels we already have more easily if we can find a way to convert it to alkanes, because biomass cannot in itself be [...]
