• Engineers enlist weather model to optimize offshore wind plan
• Better organic electronics: Researchers show the way forward for improving organic and molecular electronic devices
• Greenhouse gas can find a home underground

Engineers enlist weather model to optimize offshore wind plan Posted: 20 Mar 2012 08:57 AM PDT Using a sophisticated weather model, environmental engineers have defined optimal placement of a grid of four wind farms off the US East Coast. The model successfully balances production at times of peak demand and significantly reduces costly spikes and zero-power events.

Better organic electronics: Researchers show the way forward for improving organic and molecular electronic devices Posted: 20 Mar 2012 08:56 AM PDT Scientists have provided the first experimental determination of the pathways by which electrical charge is transported from molecule-to-molecule in an organic thin film. These results also show how such organic films can be chemically modified to improve conductance for superior organic electronics.

Greenhouse gas can find a home underground Posted: 19 Mar 2012 01:38 PM PDT A new study shows that there is enough capacity in deep saline aquifers in the United States to store at least a century's worth of carbon dioxide emissions from the nation's coal-fired powerplants. Though questions remain about the economics of systems to capture and store such gases, this study addresses a major issue that has overshadowed such proposals.

Focus on technology overlooks human behavior when addressing climate change Posted: 19 Mar 2012 10:52 AM PDT Technology alone won't help the world turn away from fossil fuel-based energy sources, says a sociologist. A shift in political and economic policies to is needed to embrace the concept that continued growth in energy consumption is not sustainable, experts say.

Less is more in piezoelectric energy harvesting: Piezoelectric materials convert electrical energy into strain, or vice versa Posted: 02 Mar 2012 07:18 AM PST Piezoelectric materials convert electrical energy into strain, or vice versa. These materials are used to harvest energy from everyday mechanical vibrations -- such as an air conditioning unit rattling, or a footbridge vibrating as pedestrians walk across it.
