Multi-use EMP weapons are being added as a standard military weapon by the USA and Russia. Russia has developed super-high-frequency gun capable of deactivating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and the warheads of precision weapons at an impact range of ten kilometers (6 miles) which ensures 360 degrees of perimeter defense. Russia’s United Instrument Manufacturing Corporation …
The Navy’s planned carrier-based unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) will help the service in a transition from manned strike aircraft to a future autonomous strike platform, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus said on Wednesday. While the final character of the Unmanned Carrier Launched Surveillance and Strike (UCLASS) is still being developed, Mabus said whatever the …
1. At Entreprenuclear, the time scale for an investment in Nuclear Power Generation to pay off is compared to the planting of apples trees. While neither will provide immediate benefits, both are likely to be greatly appreciated by future generations. 2. ANS Nuclear Cafe – Ted Rockwell, Atomic Pioneer and Tireless Campaigner for Facts On …
Middle-class Americans have their own, informal one-child policy these days. And an alarming number of upscale professionals don’t even go that far—they have dogs, not kids. In fact, if it weren’t for the wave of immigration we experienced over the last thirty years, the United States would be on the verge of shrinking, too. The …
Nature Nanotechnology – Graphene coating makes carbon nanotube aerogels superelastic and resistant to fatigue Lightweight materials that are both highly compressible and resilient under large cyclic strains can be used in a variety of applications. Carbon nanotubes offer a combination of elasticity, mechanical resilience and low density, and these properties have been exploited in nanotube-based …
“We’ve developed the world’s smallest steam engine, or to be more precise the smallest Stirling engine, and found that the machine really does perform work,” said Clemens Bechinger, a physicist at the University of Stuttgart and Fellow of the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Germany. The research team plans to explore the range …
Joe Eck at superconductors.org has done a lot of research and experiments on superconductors. Joe discovered, described and patented the observation and theory that Planar Weight Disparity Improves the critical temperature of a superconductor. In 2006 and 2010 Universidad Nacional de Colombia published articles that claimed new discoveries within this same family of rare earth …
China has doubled its target for installed photovoltaic power capacity over the next five years to 10 gigawatt (GW) by 2015, the Shanghai Securities News said on Friday, citing an official from the research arm of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). The government has also raised its installed solar capacity target for 2020 …
Graphene SME Commercialization Strategies: A Cross-Country Comparison (28 pages, April 2011) Although 3,000 related research papers and over 400 patent applications related to the technology were filed in 2010, mass commercialization of graphene may still be years away due to a number of product and process obstacles. 1) cost of development, which will likely decrease …
