Forest Breakthrough Key to 2015 Global Climate Deal
2013-10-30 05:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: With November's annual UN climate change conference approaching, it is clear that the next two years are crucial if we are to reach a global climate deal in 2015. Reducing emissions from forests is a crucial step with deforestation representing up to 20% of global carbon dioxide emissions more than that of the entire transport sector. But international efforts to tackle deforestation can only succeed if they involve national parliaments, which will lay the groundwork for a global deal in...
Breakthrough for solar cell efficiency

ScienceDaily: Breakthrough for Solar Cell Efficiency Did you know that crystals form the basis for the penetrating icy blue glare of car headlights and could be fundamental to the future in solar energy technology? Crystals are at the heart of diodes. Not the kind you might find in quartz, formed naturally, but manufactured to form alloys, such as indium gallium nitride or InGaN. This alloy forms the light emitting region of LEDs, for illumination in the visible range, and of laser diodes (LDs) in the blue-UV...

3D magnetic storage breakthrough enables 100TB+ hard drives
2013-10-15 18:04:25| Extremetech
At long last, engineers at Florida International University have found a way of breaking the 2D limitation of magnetic hard drive storage. By moving to three dimensions, the researchers have massively increased areal density, with the possibility of 100-terabyte hard drives now firmly on the horizon.
