“We engineered E. coli bacteria, the most widely studied microbe, to generate electricity,” says Professor Ardemis Boghossian at EPFL. ~ learn more
“In a novel experiment, researchers were able to trigger insulin production in human cells by sending electrical currents through an “electrogenetic” interface that activates targeted genes.” ~ learn more
Their 6th generation reactor, Trenta, uses a safer fuel than other reactors and produces and reliable fusion once every 10 minutes. Their 7th generation prototype intends to scale up the frequency of fusion to every second and, critically, generate usable […]
“Abbott’s is a risky bet for the grid, yet one that Bitcoiners have been promoting for years. On one hand, the industry creates unprecedented financial incentive to produce more energy. On the other, it ultimately involves bringing greater demand and […]
“Brain stimulation is booming… This expanding field of research is slowly revealing truths of the brain: how it works, how it malfunctions, and how electrical impulses, precisely targeted and controlled, might be used to treat psychiatric and neurological disorders.” | learn more
“Helion, as a company, has been focusing less on fusion as a science experiment and more on a more important question: Can their technology generate electricity at a commercial and industrial scale?” | learn more
The train line through my neighborhood (connecting downtown to O’Hare) is notoriously crowded these days. Everyone complains, but there’s no easy fix. There isn’t enough electricity to power more trains, and the curved tracks prevent them from adding more cars […]
If even part of this pans out, it’s a huge deal. I learned a lot about electricity from this article. | learn more
Almost as if by magic, MIT uses a thermal resonator to pull energy out of thin air. More accurately, out of the changes in air temperature throughout the day. This technology has room for improvement, and can ultimately be used […]
A team from Stanford has made progress on a system they call radiative sky cooling. Originally created in 2013, their latest real-world test … “found that throughout the summer the panels cut the power needed to cool the building by more […]
