Researchers find new method to tap energy during day for use at night
2014-01-16 01:00:00| Power Technology
Researchers at the Energy Frontier Research Center of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill (UNC-Chapel Hill) have developed a new device that converts the suns energy into hydrogen fuel and stores it for use at nights.
Acidic oceans eating away at skeletons in Pacific, researchers say
2014-01-15 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
US News and World Report: Researchers studied how algae in the Pacific Ocean off Tatoosh Island in Washington state were being affected by global warming. No bones about it: As oceans have grown more acidic from global warming over the past decade, they've been eating away at the skeletons grown by a certain strain of alga -- likely demonstrating how climate change affects organisms and biodiversity, a new study says. Researchers working at Tatoosh Island in the Pacific Ocean off Washington state found that the alga...

Youll be amazed at how these government researchers turned your smartphones camera into a radiation dose meter.
2014-01-13 15:52:20| Extremetech
Government researchers have written an Android app that lets your phone's camera act as a gamma radiation detector. We're not talking about the same quality of detection as a commercial detector or dosimeter, but if you spend a lot of time in planes, or you live in an area with high levels of natural background radiation (granite, limestone, high altitude), you might soon use your smartphone as a cheap, fairly accurate gamma radiation detector. Such a smartphone app could be a huge boon for emergency services who are first on the scene at a radiation leak and aren't equipped with the correct radiation gear, too.
