Power Move: GE Signs First Contract For The World’s Most Powerful Offshore Wind Turbine In Operation

“John Lavelle has seen many powerful machines during his nearly four decades as a GE engineer. But none measure up to the Haliade-X, the world’s most powerful offshore wind turbine in operation. The turbine set a world record earlier …

Promising computer simulations for stellarator plasmas

“Path to higher thermal insulation of the plasma / Reduction of plasma turbulence The turbulence code GENE (Gyrokinetic Electromagnetic Numerical Experiment), developed at Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) at Garching, Germany, has proven to be very useful for the …

Quieter wind beneath the wings

“The ability to efficiently simulate the noise generated by wings and propellers promises to accelerate the development of quieter aircraft and turbines. A new simulation approach has enabled a first practical, and highly accurate, computation of the noise characteristics of …

Remembrance of waves past: memory imprints motion on scattered waves

“Between relativistic and classical wave regimes, newly discovered memory effect alters the Doppler wave signature Wave scattering appears practically everywhere in everyday life—from conversations across rooms, to ocean waves breaking on a shore, from colorful sunsets, to radar waves …

Research carried out analyses how 3D printed metals fracture

“A study carried out by the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Texas A&M University (USA) and the Israel Institute of Technology has identified two mechanisms that produce the mechanical failure of 3D printed metals used in the aerospace and …

Researchers identify new type of superconductor

“Until now, the history of superconducting materials has been a tale of two types: s-wave and d-wave. Now, Cornell researchers – led by Brad Ramshaw, the Dick & Dale Reis Johnson Assistant Professor in the College of Arts and Sciences – have discovered …

Rochester researchers document record-setting optical fiber

“Work shows the innovative fiber—made of seven capillaries surrounding a hollow core—may be a promising platform for quantum information processing and other applications. An innovative optical fiber greatly reduces the “noise” interfering with the signals it transmits compared …

Samsung and KDDI Complete 5G End-to-End Network Slicing Demonstration

“The companies successfully demonstrate network slicing with a RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) for the first time in the industry Network slicing will enable new business opportunities for mobile operators, creating new value to leverage 5G commercial networks Samsung Electronics and …

School Bus-Size Asteroid to Safely Zoom Past Earth

” small near-Earth asteroid (or NEA) will briefly visit Earth’s neighborhood on Thursday, Sept. 24, zooming past at a distance of about 13,000 miles (22,000 kilometers) above our planet’s surface. The asteroid will make its close approach …

Scientists develop forecasting technique that could help advance quest for fusion energy

“Bringing the power of the sun to Earth requires sound theory, good engineering, and a little finesse. The process entails trapping charged, ultra-hot gas known as plasma(link is external) so its particles can fuse and release enormous amounts of …
