  • Here's How the Bomb Cyclone Impacted Electricity Markets

    The "relative moderation" in power price spikes reflects market rule changes and winter preparedness actions taken by grid operators in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.

  • How to Extend the Service Life of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

    Adding a small amount of metal ions improves chemical stability of electrode materials and extends fuel cell lifespan.

  • College Explores Drone Use in Agriculture

    Experts believe that drones will have a significant impact on the future of agriculture in terms of helping farmers locate injured or distressed animals and to simply check on the status of the entire farm.

  • Tariffs Are Set for Solar Panel Imports

    A 30 percent tariff will be imposed on solar panel components. Two foreign-owned solar panel makers with U.S. operations had complained about low-cost imports, mostly from Asia.

  • Puerto Rico's Electric Utility to Be Privatized

    Privatizing the troubled Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority could take up to 18 months to complete.

  • Smart Rollator Encourages Elderly to Move, Exercise

    Based on a smart rollator designed by VTT, the idea behind the project is that even slight increases in physical activity can significantly impact the well-being of seniors.

  • New Materials Developed for Smart Solar Cell Windows

    Berkeley Lab researchers have developed thermochromic windows using a perovskite solar cell.

  • Video: Building Cleaner Fuel Cells Powered by Solid Carbon

    Researchers have developed a way to make electricity generation from coal and biomass more efficient. They've created a new fuel cell design that runs completely on solid carbon.

  • AirSpaceX Reveals Sub-Scale Model of its Electric Air Taxi

    The MOBi-ONE electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft has a range of 65 miles (104 km) and is capable of flying at speeds up to 250 mph (402 km/h).

  • Power Without Propellants for Satellites

    A low-work-function tether has been devised by researchers in Spain for generating electric power on-board satellites.

  • Can You Be Allergic to Wi-Fi?

    Unexplained headaches, dizziness and even skin irritation have begun to be seen as the cause of severe discomfort or hypersensitivity to electromagnetic (EM) fields. The condition has come to be known as electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome or EHS for short, by the World Health Organization.

  • Robots Appointed to Teaching Assistants

    “The two robots provide new avenues for studying human interaction with artificial intelligence, and they allow us to see how robots respond to, for example, an environment with both humans and other robots.”

  • FirstEnergy Secures $2.5 Billion Lifeline and Restructuring Help

    The utility will form a restructuring group to accelerate its exit from its competitive generation business and guide a possible bankruptcy filing.

  • Front-end Module for Bluetooth and Zigbee Applications

    A high-performance, fully integrated RF front-end module (FEM) that is designed for Bluetooth® Low Energy and Zigbee® applications integrates a high-efficiency saturated power amplifier, a high-gain low-noise amplifier and digital controls compatible with CMOS.

  • Teaching Mosquitoes to Stop Biting People

    Because many mosquitoes bite people to feed on blood they are a vehicle for spreading deadly diseases. Now, scientists are exploring how the genes of a mosquito might be altered to stop mosquitoes from biting.

  • Gas to Remain Top Generating Fuel, EIA Says

    The mix of energy sources used to produce electricity continues to shift in response to changes in fuel costs and the development of renewable energy technologies.

  • Japanese Train Snorts and Howls to Avoid Collisions with Deer

    A team of researchers at Japan’s Railway Technical Research Institute (RTRI) has developed an unusual method to prevent deer-train collisions. The device blares animal sounds like deer snorts and dog howls from a moving train to scare deer off the tracks.

  • Houston Firm Will Build Iraq Gas Processing Facilities

    Orion will capture and process 100 million to 150 mcf of gas. The gas will be used to fuel power stations and to produce up to 10 million liters of gasoline.

  • EV Charging Network Revs Up in Europe

    The plan covers the eventual deployment of 322 ultra-fast chargers and 27 smart charging hubs across 20 countries. Roll-out is planned to start after financial closing, which is expected in the first half of 2018.

  • BART Starts to Replace Its Fleet of Rail Cars

    Canada-based Bombardier is supplying 775 rail cars for San Francisco's transit system, part of a plan to replace BART's existing fleet.
