New findings may eventually lead to a theory of how superconductivity initiates at the atomic level, a key step in understanding how to harness the potential of materials that could provide lossless energy storage, levitating trains and ultra-fast supercomputers.
The Hornsea project is expected to generate 1.2GW of power once it comes online -- the first wind farm in the world to exceed 1GW in capacity.
Nanotechnology, the ability to manipulate structures on an atomic level, has the potential to revolutionize our world.
It is hoped that this solar plant will eventually produce so much electricity that the nation will not only be able to meet its own energy needs, but also export the excess to Europe. The first section of the plant was turned on this afternoon by Morocco’s King Mohammed VI, and is expected to start churning out 160 megawatts.
From Lunar orbit, Earth is obviously habitable. But from a distant point in the galaxy, not so much.
Galaxy clusters are groupings of hundreds to thousands of galaxies bound together by gravity, and are the most massive structures found in the universe.
Sou Fujimoto Architects and Manal Rachdi OXO Architects have designed a green glass residential development in Paris.
Plane-like drones could someday beam 1Gbps to 10Gbps Internet down to Earth. Google has yet another Internet-in-the-sky program in the works. This one is called "Project Skybender," and it aims to outfit drones with millimeter wave transceivers—radios that work in a slice of the spectrum that could be used in next-generation "5G" networks.
“Southeast Asia’s largest green city” will also be a car-free zone. The first phase of Forest City, a mixed-use, sustainable development spanning 13.86 sq km in Iskandar Malaysia, was recently unveiled for public viewing to whet the appetite of regional investors.
Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects and Gottlieb Paludan Architects have just won an international competition to design the world's largest waste-to-energy plant in Shenzhen, China.
The ancient origins, anatomical, linguistic and genetic distinctiveness of southern African San and Khoikhoi people are matters of confusion and debate. They are variously described as the world’s first or oldest people; Africa’s first or oldest people, or the first people of South Africa.
Scientists are figuring out how to create a 'quantum Internet' that will be totally secure and virtually unhackable.
‘IF YOU build it they will come.’ This is the thinking guiding one of China’s most ambitious projects — a plan to build a “smart” city for 500,000 people, from scratch, on four man-made islands in South-East Asia.
Black holes are not as black as we once thought. They are theorized to die a slow death by evaporation, emitting energy known as Hawking radiation. But the mechanism for evaporation is not well understood. Then again, no one has ever even directly detected a black hole.
This nanocrystallized glass effectively absorbs UV rays and can withstand radiation for long periods of time.
