Large groups of power-generating windmills could have a small but detectable influence on a region's climate, new analyses suggest.
tudies over a 20-year period have amassed a wealth of evidence that under the right circumstances, carefully designed markets can be among the most effective prediction tools.
An advance in carbon nanotubes has moved the concept of a space elevator from science fiction to reality.
A look at CAVE virtual reality technology, a cubic room of screens onto which rear-screen projectors throw computer-generated views of a virtual scene.
As nanomaterials approach commercial development, some researchers are beginning to look at the potential consequences of putting the new materials into the environment or the body. These scientists' goal is to launch preemptive strikes against any problems that might arise down the line.
A lengthy article on the progress towards quantum computing and the possible applications that may result including improved GPS accuaracy and novel surveillance techniques.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers have successfully demonstrated 'table-top fusion'. While not commercially viable, the experiment provides valuable insight for larger, energy generating fusion projects such as the National Ignition Facility.
