Just a decade ago, leading scientists scoffed at the idea that neutrinos could be harnessed for energy. Long dubbed the “ghost particle,” the neutrino was seen as ephemeral and essentially useless. With the discovery that neutrinos have mass, it became apparent that these particles also have energy. Preliminary experiments have

The answer to that question is an interesting one, which depends on how one understands the statistical analysis of complex experiments. The experimental result could be the early signs of something big, but it is also important to be appropriately cautious. So, what really happened? It starts with an announcement by a consortium

Graphene can be used to enhance photonics, as a detector for light, an optoelectronic transceiver, or as part of high-resolution imaging systems. A surprising application of graphene is its use in photodetectors. Light detection capabilities of graphene are inherently limited because a single sheet of the material absorbs only ~2.3%

At the Fermilab DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) project, the U.S. Department of Energy plans to collaborate with top energy scientists from around the world to send the world’s most powerful neutrino beam to a sister station at SURF (Sanford Underground Research Facility) around 1,000 miles away through the Earth. This experiment

Every generation has felt that culture changed the most during its tenure, but it’s possible that during this era, the feeling of vertigo caused by sweeping, systemic change may truly be more intense than ever before. Never before have so many time-honored institutions been questioned at once, and the very

To combat the menace of fossil fuel pollution, German cities across the country have put diesel bans in place that prevent vehicles with diesel engines from operating on certain roadways. Since diesel trucks are necessary for carrying goods, this desperate attempt to save the environment strays close to deindustrialization. Cheap,

The International Energy Agency predicts that solar power will outpace all other forms of energy by 2040, but solar energy’s inevitable downfall is that it can’t work when the sun isn’t shining. Enter Neutrino Energy and its Power Cubes, able to harness the power of cosmic radiation, or neutrinos, even

University of Oregon reports: The Era of the ‚Homo Electricus‘ and Neutrino Energy In this era of „homo electricus,“ life without electricity is completely unconceivable. But how is this energy to be generated? At the present time, scientists are working on a new form of technology which will revolutionize mankind’s

The technology for harnessing neutrino is becoming a reality as researchers begin to unravel its secrets. In the foreseeable future, neutrinos transformers may do what solar cells are capable of doing with one big difference – since it is not dependent on sunlight, it can generate energy even in the

The automobile manufacturer TESLA takes its name from the famous inventor Nikola Tesla, but the connection ends there. Far from being truly innovative, this company produces relatively commonplace electric vehicles using today’s conventional technology, and these vehicles are powered by batteries that must be recharged regularly. Nikola Tesla, on the
