LockMart Selected To Advance Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion Utility Power PlansManassas VA (SPX) Mar 22, 2010 The U.S. Department of Energy recently selected Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] to receive two grants totaling $1 million to advance the technology commercialization of Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC). The grants support the company's effort to produce an economically viable, utility-scale renewable energy source leveraging the temperature difference of the ocean's warm surface water and colder water below. Under the first grant, Lockheed Martin will develop a tool to estimate the amount ... read more |

Boston MA (SPX) Mar 19, 2010Since its development in China thousands of years ago, silk from silkworms, spiders and other insects has been used for high-end, luxury fabrics as well as for parachutes and medical sutures. Now, National Science Foundation-supported researchers are untangling some of its most closely guarded secrets, and explaining why silk is so super strong. Researchers at the Massachusetts Insti ... more  
Washington DC (SPX) Mar 19, 2010Graphene-carbon formed into sheets a single atom thick-now appears to be a promising base material for capturing hydrogen, according to recent research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Pennsylvania. The findings suggest stacks of graphene layers could potentially store hydrogen safely for use in fuel cells and other applications. Graphene h ... more  
Washington DC (SPX) Mar 08, 2010A low-cost water purification technique published in Current Protocols in Microbiology could help drastically reduce the incidence of waterborne disease in the developing world. The procedure, which uses seeds from the Moringa oleifera tree, can produce a 90.00% to 99.99% bacterial reduction in previously untreated water, and has been made free to download as part of access programs under ... more |

A Galactic Desktop Of Cold DustPasadena CA (JPL) Mar 19, 2010 Planck's ability to measure the temperature of the coldest dust particles will provide a better understanding of the physical processes at play in the spaces between stars, and in regions of star formation. This image covers a portion of the sky about 50 degrees in total extent. It is a three-color combination constructed from Planck's two highest frequency channels (557 and 857 Gigahertz, corresponding to wavelengths of 540 and 350 micrometers), and an image obtained at 100 micrometers with the I ... read more |
