Focus Fusion – Two Challenges Conquered One to Go
August 10, 2012 | 5 Comments
Lawrenceville Plasma Physics (LPP) published a record breaking report in the peer-reviewed journal Physics of Plasmas on their confinement of plasma with energies equivalent to 1.8 billion degrees Centigrade and an adequate confinement time needed for net fusion energy production in their Focus Fusion-1 (FF-1) machine. That’s two challenges succumbed to determination working creativity to […]

A Better Smaller Cheaper Uranium Fuel to be a Catalyst
August 9, 2012 | Leave a Comment
Scientists at Los Alamos National Lab (LANL) using light energy have created a rare molecular uranium nitride (U-N) complex. The constructed molecule contains a discrete terminal “U-N unit”, a situation where just one nitrogen atom is bonded to the one uranium atom. Prior work had the nitrogen atom always been bonded to two or more […]

More Light for More Work Will Get More Efficient
August 7, 2012 | 1 Comment
Two researchers at Sandia National Lab suggest their research shows, historically, that improvements in lighting from candles to gas lamps to electric bulbs have led to increased light consumption rather than lower overall energy use. Back in 2010 Jeff Tsao at Sandia and Harry Saunders of The Breakthrough Institute in Oakland, Calif., authored an article […]

A New Microscope Sees to Molecule Size
August 6, 2012 | Leave a Comment
An Iowa State University and the Ames Laboratory research team has developed new microscope technology to study biological molecules. The new technology allows researchers to make 3-D measurements of single molecules with unprecedented accuracy and precision. The technology could be useful for medical researchers and other biology researchers who need very high-resolution data from microscopes. […]
