Gaps in the soup of high-energy particles near the orbits of two of Saturn’s tiny moons indicate that Saturn may be surrounded by undiscovered, near-invisible partial rings. A paper in the February issue of the journal Icarus suggests that the larger saturnian moons may not be the only ones contributing material to Saturn's ring system. picked by AutumnLotus 7 months ago

Why did humans evolve to walk upright? Perhaps because it's just plain easier. Make that "energetically less costly," in science-speak, and you have the conclusion of researchers who are proposing a likely reason for our modern gait. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

A California Fitness Center in Hong Kong, a subsidiary of 24 Hour Fitness Worldwide, is using manpower to generate electricity in its gym. In other words, energy burned off by exercisers is diverted and converted to power lighting fixtures, while excess energy is stored in a battery. picked by ordinarychick 1 year ago

Seems an obvious solution.

Gigantic satellites orbiting the Earth, equipped with solar cells, could collect enough energy from the sun every year to power the world seven times over.

Really nice article concerning energy consumption of Google's data center in Oregon. Knowing that servers require a half-watt in cooling for every watt they use in processing, this new kind of industry is in fact a new heavy industry, an energy glutton that is only growing hungrier. picked by wildminou 7 months ago

The big gun uses electromagnetic energy instead of explosive chemical propellants to fire a projectile farther and faster. The railgun, as it is called, will ultimately fire a projectile more than 230 miles (370 kilometers) with a muzzle velocity seven times the speed of sound (Mach 7) and a velocity of Mach 5 at impact. picked by deepchill 7 months ago

Critics call biofuels a "crime against humanity" - pitting the 800 million people with cars against the 800 million people with hunger. Every acre used to generate fuel is an acre that can't be used to generate the food needed to feed us or the carbon storage needed to save us. picked by cb__ 5 months ago
