Scientists
at the Georgia Institute of Technology recently achieved a 17% increase
in boiling efficiency by using an acoustic field to enhance heat
transfer. The acoustic field does this by efficiently removing vapor
bubbles from the heated surface and suppressing the formation of an
insulating vapor film.

Scientists from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, Stanford University, and Germany have figured out a key part of the industrial process for making methanol. It’s an important step toward improving the process—and eventually realizing the goal of turning a potent greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, into fuel.

Physicists have trapped and cooled exotic particles called excitons so effectively that they condensed and cohered to form a giant matter wave. This feat will allow scientists to better study the physical properties of excitons, which exist only fleetingly yet offer promising applications as diverse as efficient harvesting of solar energy and ultrafast computing.

The unilateral efforts of a single country or region to
reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases could reduce exports, increase
imports
and lead to higher emissions elsewhere—what economists call "leakage."
Unilateral efforts could, however, work better if other sources of
energy were
used as substitutes, thereby creating "negative leakage," according to
research
by University of Illinois energy policy experts.

U.S. factories produce
about 75% of what the country consumes, but the right decisions by both
business and political leaders could push that to 95%, say University of
Michigan researchers.
