Massive 40-MW floating wind turbine array wins major tick of approval

ใ€ŽVใ€๐šƒใ€ŽBใ€Castsโ”‹
While the quest for pulling more megawatts from wind turbines has generally led to bigger and bigger rotors on turbines of conventional design โ€“ like this monster 22-MW number in China โ€“ Norwayโ€™s Wind Catching Systems (WCS) has taken a different path. It claims its mega-array of smaller rotors arranged in a grid would achieve up to 126 MW, or five times the energy of a 15-MW single-rotor turbine, in North Sea conditions โ€“ and even more in some other locations around the world.

'Squeezed' light might produce breakthroughs in nano-sized electronics

It's one thing to produce nanoscale devices, but it's another to study and improve on them โ€” they're so small they can't reflect enough light to get a good look. A breakthrough might make that possible, however. UC Riverside researchers have built technology that squeezes tungsten lamp light into a 6-nanometer spot at the end of a silver nanowire. That lets scientists produce color imaging at an "unprecedented" level, rather than having to settle for molecular vibrations. The developers modified an existing "superfocusing" tool (already used to measure vibrations) to detect signals across the entire visible spectrum. Light travels in a flashlight-like conical path. When the nanowire's tip passes over an object, the system records that item's influence on the beam shape and color (including through a spectrometer). With two pieces of specrtra for every 6nm pixel, the team can create color photos of carbon nanotubes that would otherwise appear...

Business schools focus on small-business or early-VC models. But do you need a 4-year degree for a small business? And VC helps ~20/100,000 ventures. The Unicorn-Builder (U-B) Model was used by 94% of billion-dollar-entrepreneurs. This model can help more students to create wealth and control it. http://dlvr.it/SbsPYz
