Open Image…Save ImageOpen Image (using #TmpD/ia)… Linköping University researchers have, by way of a number of theoretical calculations, shown that magnesium diboride becomes superconductive at a higher temperature when it is stretched. The discovery is a big step toward finding superconductive materials that are useful in real-world situations. Erik Johansson, who recently completed his doctorate at the Division of Theoretical […]

Making the Case For Saving Money With Triple Pane Windows
April 13, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is suggesting triple-pane windows conserve energy, reduce noise, and lower home energy bills now that they are getting more affordable. Next generation triple-pane windows provide builders with lower cost options and help homeowners conserve energy, reduce noise, and lower home energy bills. “It’s time to make the switch to triple-pane windows.” […]

Device Wrapped Around a Hot Surface Makes Electricity
January 26, 2022 | Leave a Comment
Penn State scientists have designed a new flexible thermoelectric generator that can wrap around pipes and other hot surfaces and convert wasted heat into electricity more efficiently than previously possible. The energy systems that power our lives also produce wasted heat – like heat that radiates off hot water pipes in buildings and exhaust pipes […]
