Construction of White Rock Wind Farm in Glen Innes, the largest wind farm in NSW, will begin within weeks. The 175 megawatt wind farm has planning approval for 119 turbines to be constructed in stages. The $400 million development will power 75,000 homes annual when in full production.
Climate related disasters can be felt on all of the islands. Typhoons most greatly impact life in the Philippines. We have almost too many to name. Reality is telling us that typhoons are becoming stronger and more violent, surpassing even the estimated limit of the ‘strongest level’ from super to mega typhoons.
There's still a lot of untapped potential in terms of the efficiency of photovoltaic cells and what happens at night and during inclement weather. Now a solution has been put forward in the form of producing energy from raindrops.
Researchers have developed one of the first complete systems to store digital data in DNA -- allowing companies to store data that today would fill a big box store supercenter in a space the size of a sugar cube.
Researchers have developed a new approach to preserving superposition in a class of quantum devices built from synthetic diamonds. The work could ultimately prove an important step toward reliable quantum computers.
A simple filtration process helped researchers create flexible, wafer-scale films of highly aligned and closely packed carbon nanotubes.
Astronomers find a monster black hole 17 billion times more massive than the sun, raising suspicions supermassive black holes may be more common than first thought.
Combining gasification with fuel-cell technology could boost efficiency of coal-powered plants.
An international team of researchers has found evidence of a mysterious new state of matter, first predicted 40 years ago, in a real material. This state, known as a quantum spin liquid, causes electrons -- thought to be indivisible building blocks of nature -- to break into pieces.
Elon Musk has revealed the Tesla Model 3 to the public for the first time. Unveiled at the company's design studio in Hawthorne, California in front of a crowd of whooping and cheering customers and journalists, the Model 3 is the most affordable Tesla yet and hopes to bring electric cars to the mass
While we sit here on Earth looking up in wonder at how awesome our star, the Sun, is, astronomers have just found a stable planet inside a triple-star system that makes our Solar System seem rather boring.
Something nicknamed "the cyborg olympics" may sound right at home in a science-fiction yarn, but this is real, and it has everything to do with advancing research to help those with physical disabilities.
Bionic convergence and psychic uploading won’t be possible unless we crack the neural code, science’s hardest problem.
FOMO, FOBO, and NoMo are among a growing list of acronyms relating to people's fear of not being able to check their social media feed, and the issue has psychologists scrambling to keep up.
You'd be hard pressed to find someone who would deny that Steve Jobs changed the world. His Wired interview which is now 20 years old, paints a startlingly accurate picture of the reality that we now live in.
