There has been significant excitement about recent results from the Joint European Torus (JET) facility in the UK, suggesting that the dream of nuclear fusion power is inching closer to reality. We know that fusion works– it is the process that powers the Sun, offering heat and light to the Earth. For years, it has […]

From Plants to Jet fuel A long-overlooked first step in producing sustainable aviation fuels will start with the ideal arrangement of molecular components. A group of Washington State University and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) scientists have just identified the optimal atomic interaction, and the most effective location to begin is the catalytic conversion of lignin, the amplest

Ferromagnetic materials possess a self-generating magnetic field; ferroelectric materials create their own electrical field. Electric and magnetic fields are important. Physics tells us that they are entirely different classes of material. Now the finding by University of Warwick-led scientists of a complex electrical ‘vortex-like’ pattern that mirrors its magnetic equivalent indicates that they could actually

A future powered by sustainable energy sources can save the globe from drastic climate change and reduce energy expenses. But the renewable resource has an intermittency issue– the sun offers no power during the night, while winds can stop unexpectedly. Additionally, power grids must keep supply and demand in balance, or threat rises and blackouts.
