The ongoing miniaturization of electronics has allowed for the creation of some incredibly small sensors to track things like temperature and humidity. Imagining a future where hundreds of them are ...

As part of a sustainable energy solution, wind power has demonstrated great potential to satisfy energy demands with a clean, safe, and highly efficient As part of a sustainable energy solution, wind ...

May 11, 2009 Clean, renewable energy is freely available – in the form of wind, sun and water. However, harnessing it reliably and cost-effectively remains a barrier. Wind power is one of the fastest ...

The idea of a balloon that floats high up above Earth indefinitely is a tantalizing one. Solar power would allow such stratospheric balloons to operate like low-cost satellites at the edge of space, ...
