The core of Earth’s inner core
Research from Australian National University confirmed the existence of a core inside Earth’s inner core.
Fresnel linear concentrator
The Fresnel linear concentrator is a little known form of thermal solar energy generation. The operation of this technology is today’s subject.
The first room-temperature superconductor
Was discovered a material which becomes a superconductor at 15ºC, after more than a century of search.
El Niño and La Niña
El Niño and La Niña are climatic phenomena with opposite features. The description and influence in climate are shown in this post.
MEMS manufacturing (Part 1)
MEMS manufacturing is similar to process used to fabricate microelectronic circuits. The bulk micromachining is today’s subject.
Earth’s internal discontinuities
This post’s subject are the 5 discontinuities of Earth’s interior which demarcate borders between inner layers.
Theoretical superconductor at high temperature
A superconductor based in hydrogen can theoretically work at 200ºC, but needs a very high pressure.
How the solar tower works?
The solar tower is another way to use sunlight as heat source to produce steam and spin a turbine. Can produce electricity even during night.
Parked electric car on fire
A Tesla electric car caught fire while was parked in a parking lot in Hong Kong.
