"Reading this, your body at rest is emitting about 100 watts into the environment. If you're sitting in an open plan office, count the number of surrounding colleagues and you don't need to be a maths genius to appreciate the possibilities of tapping into all that wasted energy. Instead it could provide a renewable energy source to power office lighting or laptops - and it may be possible ... read full post picked by Jetka 6 months ago

The viability of harnessing waves as a lucrative renewable energy source received a boost last week following the announcement that the world's first commercial wave energy project will begin delivering wave-generated energy to the north of Portugal later this month.

As the sizes of sensor networks and mobile devices shrink toward the microscale, and even nanoscale, there is a growing need for suitable power sources. Because even the tiniest battery is too big to be used in nanoscale devices, scientists are exploring nanosize systems that can salvage energy from the environment. picked by AutumnLotus 11 months ago

Some had hoped it might be just an illusion. But it looks like dark energy is real and here to stay, as astronomers "image" the mysterious entity in action. picked by AutumnLotus 3 months ago

Galaxies today are struggling to clump together against the incredible repulsive power of dark energy, hints a new survey of thousands of galaxies. Measuring this anti-clumping effect puts a new arrow in the quiver of cosmologists seeking to uncover the nature of the mysterious force. picked by deepchill 7 months ago

Cosmologists at Durham University’s world-leading Institute for Computational Cosmology (ICC) have run a series of huge computer simulations of the Universe that could help solve one of astronomy’s greatest mysteries. The results tell researchers how to measure dark energy – a force that counteracts gravity and could decide the ultimate fate of the cosmos. picked by AutumnLotus 7 months ago

Imagine a place awash with more hydrocarbons than a Texan oilman can dream of and where no one has staked a single claim -- all that energy is just going begging. The problem: this massive reserve is at least 1.2 billion kilometers (750 million miles) away from Earth, on a tiny inhospitable world where on a warm day it's minus 179 degrees Celsius (minus 290 degrees Fahrenheit). picked by AutumnLotus 6 months ago

Scientists don't know what dark energy is, but they observe its tugging effect, which causes the expansion of the universe to accelerate. Now they have seen this mysterious force in some of the largest known features of the cosmos, called superclusters and supervoids. picked by AutumnLotus 2 weeks ago

Distant ­supernovas (bright dots), captured by NASA’s Hubble telescope, open new vistas into the expansion history of the early universe. As early as 9 billion years ago, a mysterious repulsive force known as dark energy is seen exerting its influence.Even weirder than dark matter—the invisible stuff constituting most of the mass of the universe—is dark energy, a myst... read full post picked by rambler 1 year ago

Meet the standard British electrical socket; actually designed with an on/off switch. Many electrical appliances draw electricity even when they’re turned off. Here’s the euro solution: Every electrical socket in my flat here in the UK has an on/off switch. Imagine how much energy we could save if we cut off the electricity to every socket not in use. This is cutting down on wasted ene... read full post picked by pitim 10 months ago
