A recent discovery at the University of California San Diego could change the field of photonics. A team of engineers has fabricated a plasmonic metamaterial that could change the way we look at optical transmission.
Their new material shows promise...
A scientist from Arizona State University has a bold plan to refreeze the arctic ice cap. Steven Desch is an astrophysicist, and he wants to build 10 million wind-powered pumps that would blast water onto the surface of the...
The need for refrigeration is expanding, and it is expected to grow steadily for most of this century. This issue is well-known, and we don't have a solution. In fact, we aren't even close to one. The National Institute...

The fracking operation of a natural gas company in Pennsylvania was found to cause earthquakes in the western part of the state.
The owner of the operation, Hilcorp Energy Co., had the facility very near the earthquakes; however, no damage...
The fracking boom in the USA has received a lot of well founded criticism; it pollutes in just about every conceivable way, and has given rise to dangerous earthquakes in many areas.
In addition to all of of that, fracking...
In a rather interesting turn of events, Norway is moving towards being one of the first countries to replace their Internal Combustion Engines (ICE's) with alternative forms of power.
Not that petroleum burning cars will disappear tomorrow, but with the...
It would appear that Toshiba has purchased a very complex radioactive black-hole that may bankrupt it.
The takeover of Webster & Stone by by Toshiba's subsidiary Westinghouse may go down in history as one of the worst investments ever made,...
