    • UCLA Team Leads Solar Molten Metal Effort (KCET (blog))- September 3, 2012
    • The Energy Department's "SunShot Initiative" -- modeled on the Kennedy-era moon shot initiative -- has granted $5 million for a five-year program to investigate using molten metals as heat transfer fluids in solar thermal systems. The molten metals ... More...
    • Global Warming, Coal Combustion and Sea Level Rise (Energy Collective)- September 3, 2012
    • Coal Combustion Since The Late 1700s: Dirty combustion of coal was common from the late 1700s to about 1950 when low-efficiency air quality control, AQC, systems (cyclonic separators, precipitators, fabric filters, scrubbers, etc.) were being installed ... More...
    • Heat flow control for future nanoelectronics (Phys.Org)- September 3, 2012
    • There is little research in the area of heat flows and their control. Ruokola's study tackles the basic questions of the field: how heat transfer occurs from one point to another and how this flow can be controlled in electronic circuits approaching ... More...
