One year ago, six volunteers entered a 36-by-20 foot dome, located near a barren volcano in Hawaii, to simulate what living conditions would be like on Mars. Today they re-emerged from their year-long isolation.
The first-ever growth of two-dimensional gallium nitride using graphene encapsulation could lead to applications in deep ultraviolet lasers, next-generation electronics and sensors.
U.S. Dept. of Energy announces major new initiative toward clean, safe and virtually limitless power.
Berkeley Lab researchers are using the science of the very small to help solve big challenges. Here are five projects, now underway which promise big results from the smallest of building blocks.
A team of researchers has recently made a critical breakthrough in the pursuit of flexible electronics. The team successfully developed a high-performance magnetic memory embedded on flexible plastic material.
New law requires the US economic powerhouse to cut its emissions by 40% below 1990 levels by 2030
The astronauts who will one day be the first to walk on Mars are likely middle school students today. A virtual reality tour of Mars is done on a retrofitted school bus outside the Denver Museum of Nature, USA
Even after being stretched, twisted, and bent at extreme angles, the structures sprang back to their original forms within seconds of being heated to a certain temperature “sweet spot.”
The Block Island Offshore Wind Project has just finished construction, and is on track to meet its November opening schedule. The wind farm will provide electricity to 17,000 homes.
Dragonfly 44, as it has been named, is roughly the same size as our Milky Way but with far fewer stars. Rather, the galaxy appears to be composed largely of dark matter, which does not emit light or interact with electromagnetic radiation.
The gleaming sphere is capable of producing up to half-a-million gallons of fresh water each year.
New stars are formed in the undulating clouds of M8, also commonly referred to as the Lagoon Nebula, situated some 5,000 light years from our planet.
