New insights on macular degeneration
A new MIT study sheds light on how the brain's visual cortex can re-map itself in response to visual deprivation caused by macular degeneration, the most common form of adult blindness. March 3 more...$40 billion in development of alternative energy
The Swedish and Japan investors are ready to invest about $40 billion in development of alternative energy sources in Ukraine, and also in ecological projects. more...Light in treatment of Parkinson's disease
About the only thing doctors have understood about deep-brain stimulation, which is widely used to treat Parkinson's disease symptoms, is that somehow it works for many patients. more...Manufacturing methods are inefficient in their use of energy
Modern manufacturing methods are spectacularly inefficient in their use of energy and materials, according to a detailed MIT analysis of the energy use of 20 major manufacturing processes. more...Sensory processing of visual and tactile motion
In the classic waterfall illusion, if you stare at the downward motion of a waterfall for some period of time, stationary objects - like rocks - appear to drift upward. MIT neuroscientists have found that this phenomenon, called motion aftereffect, occurs not only in our visual perception more...A way to draw extremely narrow lines
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say they have made a breakthrough with light technology that could eventually help chip makers create finer circuits. more...Ukrainian Renewable Energy Laboratory wanted
Key role in introduction of Power strategy of Ukraine belongs to Ministry of Energy of Ukraine, which for implementation of innovative activity needs creation of the innovative infrastructure and especially the creation and development of the National Renewable Energy Technologies Laboratory more...Renewable Solar Power researches funded by US government
In early 2007 the DOE commissioned the Renewable Systems Interconnection (RSI) reports that analyzed the main policies that would have the largest positive impact on solar demand more...Rapid charge of a battery
MIT engineers have created a kind of beltway that allows for the rapid transit of electrical energy through a well-known battery material, an advance that could usher in smaller, lighter batteries -- for cell phones and other devices -- that could recharge in seconds rather than hours. more...In The News
"Energy around us: Newton laws and bulk power technologies. Part 1"In the study of basic types of energy the fundamental science - physics is engaged. The main part of power systems that are now widely used in world practice utilizes of so-called bulk energy technologies
