India ends nuclear outcast status with French atomic deal Paris (AFP) Sept 30, 2008 
India, critically short of energy to fuel its booming economy, on Tuesday shed its nuclear outcast status when it signed a landmark atomic energy pact with France. The deal effectively ended a ban on countries selling civilian nuclear technology and equipment to New Delhi, which was imposed in 1974 when India used its civilian programme to produce and successfully test an atomic bomb. In ... read moreStrong support for India nuclear deal: US 
Washington (AFP) Sept 30, 2008The US State Department voiced hope Tuesday that a civilian nuclear pact with India will clear the last legislative hurdle here, saying it has "strong bipartisan support." The deal, which would lift a three decade-old ban on civilian nuclear trade with India, could go to a vote in the Senate as early as Wednesday, after it passed the House of Representatives on Saturday. "I certainly ... more

Quantum Leap In Hi-Tech Performance
Calgary, Canada (SPX) Oct 01, 2008For years, physicists have been heralding the revolutionary potential of using quantum mechanics to build a new generation of supercomputers, unbreakable codes, and ultra-fast and secure communication networks. The brave new world of quantum technology may be a big step closer to reality thanks to a team of University of Calgary researchers that has come up with a unique new way of testing ... more New Research Shows Why Metal Alloys Degrade 
Ann Arbor, MI (SPX) Oct 01, 2008Metal alloys can fail unexpectedly in a wide range of applications---from jet engines to satellites to cell phones---and new research from the University of Michigan helps to explain why. Metal alloys are solids made from at least two different metallic elements. The elements are often mixed together as liquid, and when they "freeze," into solids, tiny grains of crystal form to create a ... more Final 20 Teams Compete For DoD Wearable Power Prize 
Washington DC (SPX) Oct 01, 2008The final phase of the Department of Defense (DoD) Wearable Power Prize competition began yesterday when 20 teams powered up their systems at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, Calif. Large companies, small businesses and individual inventors are vying for a $1 million top prize for producing a system that will provide ground warfighters with lightweight ... more  |

Carbon Sinks: Issues, Markets, Policy
Washington DC (SPX) Oct 01, 2008With reducing carbon emissions on the national agenda, a group of expert panelists will discuss methods, markets, testing and policy issues on how carbon sinks or carbon sequestration may be used to reduce atmospheric CO2. Carbon sequestration is the process through which carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere is absorbed by trees, plants and crops through photosynthesis, and stored as ... more Sunny Niger's solar dream dims under cost cloud 
Niamey (AFP) Sept 30, 2008It is poor, dry and has more sunshine than it knows what to do with. But despite years of experience with solar power, Niger continues to use cow dung and wood for fuel. According to studies by the US space agency NASA, Niger is one of the sunniest places in the world, making it in effect a 1.2 million square-kilometre (463,322 square-mile) solar mirror. But even in these days of prohibitive ... more US Solarcell Design Hits 40 Precent Efficiency 
Golden CO (SPX) Sep 30, 2008Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have set a world record in solar cell efficiency with a photovoltaic device that converts 40.8 percent of the light that hits it into electricity. This is the highest confirmed efficiency of any photovoltaic device to date. The inverted metamorphic triple-junction solar cell was designed, fabricated a ... more CO2 Scrubber Captures Greenhouse Gases 
Calgary, Canada (SPX) Oct 01, 2008University of Calgary climate change scientist David Keith and his team are working to efficiently capture the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide directly from the air, using near-commercial technology. In research conducted at the U of C, Keith and a team of researchers showed it is possible to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) - the main greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming - using a ... more |
