Why we need to tackle renewable energy’s storage problem

Physics World

On 16 September 1910 the Canadian inventor Reginald A Fessenden, who is best known for his work on radio technology, published an article in the journal The Electrician about energy storage. The energy of the sources must first be charged so as to be suitable in form, it must next be stored so as to be available in time.”.

Why peregrine falcons wear eyeliner, golden eagles could accelerate using turbulence

Physics World

In a recent study, scientists in the US used such a tagging technology to closely monitor the flight of a golden eagle as it travelled along the Appalachian Mountains from Alabama to New York. Instead of being a hindrance to efficient flight, the team believes that eagles could use turbulence as a source of energy while flying.

Two potential solutions to cool down the Arctic

Edouard Stenger

High CO2 levels would continue to trap heat in the atmosphere, but with less energy coming in, temperatures on the surface would go down. He and a team of colleagues from Arizona State University want to replenish the region’s shrinking sea ice – by building 10 million wind-powered pumps over the Arctic ice cap.
