China’s Energy Administration (Regulates China’s nuclear and other energy industries) is moving to allow more power companies are able to build and operate nuclear power plants. Soon independent power producers like Huaneng Power International Inc. (HNP) and Datang International Power Generation Co. (0991.HK), could join the ranks of …
The Washington Post and other sources are reporting the announcement by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that Iran has a program of Laser Enrichment of Uranium It is believed that the laser enrichment is still at experimental quantities and that the main enrichment is still centrifuges. Here is a 14 page pdf of the history of …
Inventor Larry Fullerton applies signal correlation methods and coding theory to magnetism to precisely control magnetic fields. Coded magnetic structures correlate to produce stronger bonding force, programmable precision alignment, and deterministic magnetic field interaction that promise to accelerate product performance and innovation. Coded magnetic structures can be designed to deliver precise holding strength characteristics, customized …
The 1000 meter helicopter supperted vertical raceway is now ready and waiting for the space elevator teams. More information on the upcoming schedule coming your way soon. Full altitude integrated tests were performed this past weekend. They performed a series of measurements in order to correlate helicopter positions and lasing angles. The trick is to …
1. By studying gold nanoparticles with highly uniform sizes and shapes, scientists now understand how they lose energy, a key step towards producing nanoscale detectors for weighing any single atom. In this study, the team from the University of Melbourne, Argonne’s Center for Nanoscale Materials in Illinois and the University of Chicago synthesized and studied …
Three direct cycle designs [steam indirect cycle, helium direct, supercritical CO2]were selected for further investigation: the basic design with turbine inlet temperature of 550P o PC, an advanced design with turbine inlet temperature of 650P o PC and a high-performance design with turbine inlet temperature of 700P o PC, all with the compressor outlet pressure …
Eli Harari, the chief executive of SanDisk, indicates that the two dimensional size reduction of flash components is likely to end within 5 years and then they will stack layers for higher three dimensional densities. Once the industry goes from its current 64-billion-bit flash chip to a 256-billion-bit chip (that’s 32 gigabytes), it will hit …
IBM has promised the DOE National Nuclear Security Administration a 20 petaflop supercomputer that is scheduled for delivery in 2011. The supercomputer will be called Sequoia. The computer should be ten times more energy efficient per calculation than current supercomputers. Can’t Afford IBM Supercomputers Consider DIY SupercomputersCan’t afford IBM Supercomputers ? Consider following the example …
