Harnessing the Earth, the atom and the leaf
There are many sources that can make a contribution to our energy supply, but likely not at a major scale in the near future.
Bristly particles could be boon for powerplants
Multi-scale material may have applications in heat transfer, potentially helping powerplants be more efficient.
Power from down under
Earth’s own heat could provide vast amounts of clean electricity, and current MIT research could help make it feasible
