Texas Legislature to Consider Oil and Gas Lien Law Amendment

Energy & the Law

Co-author Brittany Blakey. Texas lien law in some cases does not require the filing of a financing statement for priority perfection. However, as you might have learned in In re First River Energy , the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code did not recognize the priority of Texas producers’ unfiled, unperfected security interests in proceeds under Texas Business and Commerce Code Section 9.343.

Fast electrons catch badly behaved quantum dots in the act

Physics World

Quantum dots are responsible for the stunning, vibrant colours on modern TV screens, but they don’t always behave like they should. This creates headaches for device makers, who struggle to understand why some of these nanometre-scale semiconducting crystals shine much more dimly than others. A team led by scientists at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in the US has now used fast electrons to determine the cause of this bad behaviour.

Solar-powered water purifier is inspired by pufferfish

Physics World

Pufferfish have inspired a new device that is capable of the highest rate ever of passive solar water purification – according to its creators Xiaohui Xu and colleagues at Princeton University in the US. Based on an advanced hydrogel, the system can rapidly soak up and filter water when cool, and then release clean water when warmed in the Sun. The team hopes their innovation could lead to low-cost and sustainable off-grid purification systems, potentially improving access to clean water for man

X-ray emissions from Uranus are detected for the first time

Physics World

Astronomers have spotted X-ray emissions from the planet Uranus for the first time. The international team, led by William Dunn at Mullard Space Science Laboratory in the UK, discovered the signals through new analysis of data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. The observations could provide important guidance for upcoming X-ray studies of Uranus and Neptune.

Independent QA and the necessity of data access

Physics World

Want to learn more on this subject? Watch now. This webinar will address the critical role of independence in providing unbiased assurance in radiation therapy that treatment-related issues are caught. While vendor-integrated system self-checks represent some efficiency gains, independent quality assurance and the data accessibility required for it remain essential – especially as treatment complexity increases.
