SWEDEN - Scientists in Sweden have developed a specialized fluid, called a solar thermal fuel, that can store energy from the sun for well over a decade. "A solar thermal fuel is like a rechargeable battery, but instead of electricity, you put sunlight in and get heat out, triggered on demand," Jeffrey Grossman, an engineer
DETROIT - Last year, the Canadian tritium fueled an experiment at JET showing fusion research is approaching an important threshold: producing more energy than goes into the reactions. By getting to one-third of this breakeven point, JET offered reassurance that ITER, a similar reactor twice the size of JET under construction in France, will bust
DETROIT - Imagine a morning commute where your car alerts you of potholes and the nearest available parking spot, pays for parking automatically and signals your office to brew a fresh cup of coffee, turn on your computer and adjust the thermostat to your preferred temperature.
