Hyperion Power Generation is moving ahead with the preparations for three factories for its roughly 7 ton 27 MWe nuclear reactors. One to two hundred reactors could be built and deployed from ...

The improvement of thermoelectric materials that can directly convert wasted heat to electric energy may lead to one of the solutions for energy issues. For high performance in thermoelectric ...

EXPERIMENTS have been performed in the reactor Pluto as a stage in the development of cæsium-neutralized diodes for the direct conversion of fission heat to electric power. This work is similar to ...

Scientists demonstrate that breaking the trade-off problem between thermopower and conductivity improves thermoelectric performance. They suggest introducing lattice strain into Mott insulator oxide ...

When Massachusetts officials look into the not-so-distant future of 2030, they see 1 million homes across the state comfortably heated and cooled by sleek, efficient heat pumps, their old oil- and gas ...

Over the next three years, Massachusetts residents are encouraged to take advantage of hundreds of millions of dollars in incentives to make the transition to electric heat. In fact, the state's ...

In short, the air that exits the plane moves slower than the air flowing over its wings, causing a pressure differential that ...
