Big leap for fusion: more energy produced than spent igniting fuel

Researchers in the US have overcome a key barrier to making nuclear fusion reactors a reality. In results published in Nature, scientists have shown that they can now produce more energy than put into igniting fuel, at least on an experimental scale. The use of fusion as a source of energy remains a long way off, but the latest development is...

Artificial Hand by Bebionic significantly improves lives

Accidents happen and it is extremely difficult to predict its outcome. You may be either lucky enough to come out of it uunharmed, without even the smallest scratch or may suffer from grieve consequences. The stories of Charles Soitaboa Kango and Mike Swainger are very much similar. But with the help of BeBionic hand, they successfully live...

Is it time to move away from silicon-based solar?

CHICAGO—Currently, the world has the capacity to manufacture over 40 Gigawatts of solar panels each year, the vast majority of them silicon-based. And it's easy to see why: our expertise with processing the material has led to a staggering drop in costs, making photovoltaics (PVs) much more cost-competitive than just about anyone had predicted. But...

Carbon dioxide from exhaust can now be used to make new chemicals

Carbon dioxide from exhaust can now be used to make new chemicals Carbon capture is yet to become energy-efficient, but uses of CO₂ are growing. To limit climate change, most governments focus on reducing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO₂) put into the atmosphere. But there are indications that such action won’t be enough—at some point, we...

A way to double the efficiency of solar cells is about to go mainstream

SUNLIGHT is free, but that is no reason to waste it. Yet even the best silicon solar cells—by far the most common sort—convert only a quarter of the light that falls on them. Silicon has the merit of being cheap: manufacturing improvements have brought its price to a point where it is snapping at the heels of fossil fuels. But many scientists would...

Who needs sunlight? In Arizona, solar power never sleeps

GILA BEND, ARIZONA—Every afternoon during the summer, millions of people across the American Southwest come home from work and switch on their air conditioners, straining the power grid in states like Arizona. Traditional solar power—although perfectly suited to the sunny climes of this region—can’t meet this demand since the surge in use peaks...

This hydrogen engine takes advantage of the characteristics of Mazda’s unique rotary engine and maintains a natural driving feeling unique to internal combustion engines. It also achieves excellent environmental performance with zero CO2 emissions. Further, the hydrogen engine ensures performance and reliability equal to that of a gasoline engine....

Steering Systems | Hydraulic Power Steering Systems | Steering Wheel Parts

STEERING The steering system in a vehicle is used to move the vehicle in a particular direction. This is a very important sub-system in a car without which it would be impossible for a vehicle to follow its desired path. The steering system can be used to steer all kinds of vehicles like cars, trucks, buses, trains, tanks etc. The conventional...
