When an electron is ejected from a metal surface it has kinetic energy. The amount of kinetic energy the electron has depends on the difference between the energy of the photon and the work ...
That’s wind! Once gusts reach about seven to eleven mph, the rotor of a wind turbine can capture the wind’s kinetic energy. A rotor usually has three massive blades, each on average about as ...
Near-inertial internal waves (NIWs) are crucial energy sources for deep-sea mixing, but the origins of deep NIWs have remained largely unknown. A research team led by Prof. Wang Fan from the Institute ...
Several decades ago, engineers from Raytheon and Lockheed Martin developed a prototype for a flying weapon system - a pod-like craft - designed to intercept and destroy multiple ballistic missiles.
After a cold snap, snow almost risked the lifespan of one Lowcountry farm’s precious blueberry bushes, their farmers made sure they would be saved. Many of ...
