Western States Bake Under Extended Heat Wave Flathead Beacon Sun, 12 Aug 2012 10:29 AM PDT LOS ANGELES â" Temperatures soared into triple digits across the western United States on Saturday as a continuing heat wave strained energy supplies and sent thousands to beaches, lakes and shopping malls in search of cooler climes. | Contact earnings forecast to rise Stuff Sun, 12 Aug 2012 10:15 AM PDT Contact Energy is expected to report a pickup in underlying earnings, but faces headwinds from state asset sales and Meridian's contract negotiations with the Tiwai aluminium smelter. | World's most powerful X-ray laser beam refined to scalpel precision PhysOrg Sun, 12 Aug 2012 10:11 AM PDT With a thin sliver of diamond, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have transformed the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) into an even more precise tool for exploring the nanoworld. The improvements yield laser pulses focused to higher intensity in a much narrower band of X-ray wavelengths, and may enable experiments that have never before ... | First single-molecule measurement of Van Der Waals interactions at metal-organic interface PhysOrg Sun, 12 Aug 2012 10:11 AM PDT A team of researchers at Columbia Engineering, led by Applied Physics and Applied Mathematics Associate Professor Latha Venkataraman and in collaboration with Mark Hybertsen from the Center for Functional Nanomaterials at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, has succeeded in performing the first quantitative characterization of van der Waals interactions at metal ... | Diamond hones DOE X-ray laser howitzer to razor-sharp precision Engadget Sun, 12 Aug 2012 10:09 AM PDT The US Department of Energy's SLAC accelerator lab already has a pretty useful X-ray laser -- the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS). But, recent modifications to the device have scientists drooling over its new found potential. Using a thin wafer of diamond, the Stanford-run lab filtered the beam to a lone frequency, then amplified it in a process called "self-seeding." That's given the world's ... | Local entrepreneur: Solyndra's collapse chilled alt-energy industry Orlando Sentinel Sun, 12 Aug 2012 10:00 AM PDT Scott Faris, 47, is chief executive officer of Planar Energy Devices Inc., an Orlando research start-up that developed advanced battery technology and has raised millions in venture capital. He spoke recently with Orlando Sentinel staff writer Richard Burnett . | Harvest Energy Solutions Announces Partnership with Renewegy The Gilmer Mirror Sun, 12 Aug 2012 09:37 AM PDT August 7, 2012 â" Jackson, Michigan â" Harvest Energy Solutions , the Midwestâs leading and fastest growing renewable energy product provider, today announced a partnership with Wisconsin-based Renewegy, Inc .
