It seems like finally we will be able to learn everything about the Universe thanks to a system called the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope which will take photos and record everything about the dark matter, Solar System, asteroids, and remote galaxies among others.
“The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope is a proposed ground-based 6.7 meter effective diameter [...]

The world of LCD screens could be changed for the better in the near future thanks to a breakthrough of two scientists from the University of Central Florida, Orlando. Zhibing Ge and Shin-Tson Wu used nanoimprinting technology to improve that contrast ratio in LCDs. Thanks to the nano-sized polarizers, soon we could have brighter, lighter, [...]

The Japan Space Elevator Association have developed a space elevator to give up space traveling via rockets to elevators. The cable used to move the elevators is based on nanotube technology making it 180 times stronger than steel. The main reason for replacing the launching rockets is the cost of the travel making it 100 [...]

Vattenfall is one of the biggest energy company in Europe. The problem is that they produce coal-based energy which produces high amounts of CO2 that harm the environment and cause global warming. Now, thanks to a new project, Vattenfall will be able to produce coal-based energy without any CO2 emissions.
Seems pretty unbelievable but Lars Josefsson, [...]

Scientists from the Kyushu University in Japan have designed a massive floating power plant that will combine photovoltaic arrays with windmills. This power plant will be deployed off-shore and it will measure 1.25 miles by 0.5 miles and preliminary tests showed that it’s possible and a new generator like this should be ready in about [...]
