Published Effect of ‘eddy killing’ in oceans is no longer a matter of guesswork
(via sciencedaily.com) Applying a new coarse-graining, spatial method of analysis to satellite imagery, scientists provide a direct measure of the impact of wind driven eddy-killing on the kinetic energy of ocean currents -- a continual loss of 50 gigawatts, equivalent to the detonation of a Hiroshima nuclear bomb every 20 minutes, year round.
Published Polymer scientist helps develop new technique for large-scale energy storage
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Electric vehicles require power to be available anywhere and anytime without delay to recharge, but solar and wind are intermittent energy sources that are not available on demand. And the electricity they do generate needs to be stored for later use and not go to waste. New research reveals a more stable way to store this important energy.
