Lab Achieves Micro Scale Nuclear Fusion
March 20, 2018 | Leave a Comment
Colorado State University scientists using a compact but powerful laser to heat arrays of ordered nanowires have demonstrated micro-scale nuclear fusion in the lab. They have achieved record-setting efficiency for the generation of neutrons – chargeless sub-atomic particles resulting from the fusion process. The process that powers the sun, happens when nuclear reactions between light […]

Breakout For the Solid State Lithium Ion Battery
March 15, 2018 | 1 Comment
Shinshu University researchers have developed a new way to improve solid state lithium ion battery efficiency. Through the growth of a cubic crystal layer, the scientists have created a thin and dense connecting layer between the electrodes of the battery. Rechargeable lithium ion batteries power such devices as cell phones, laptops, power tools, and are […]

A New Look At Switchgrass Fed Biofuel
March 8, 2018 | 1 Comment
Colorado State University researchers have found new information for biofuels produced from switchgrass, a non-edible native grass that grows in many parts of North America. Over the past thirty years the corn industry has driven biofuels produced from corn as a fuel source to power motor vehicles and, perhaps soon, airplanes. Meanwhile the global warming […]
