#Wind turbines Without Blades It no longer surprising to encounter 100-foot pinwheels spinning in the breeze as you drive down the highway.
A Spanish company called Vortex Bladeless is proposing a radical new way to generate wind energy that will once again upend
But it goes about it in an entirely different way. Instead of capturing energy via the circular motion of a propeller,
who actively try to design their way around these whirlpools of wind. And for good reason:
The team started Vortex Bladeless in 2010 as a way to turn this vibrating energy into something productive.

#Charting quantum signatures of electronic transport in graphene Over the last seven years, Javier Sanchez-Yamagishi has built several hundred nanoscale stacked graphene systems to study their electronic properties."
To put it another way, he says, "When they are misaligned, the moire is very small,
electrons traveling within a layer are slowed down in the same way. But with graphene, if the layers stacked on top of each other are misaligned,
It's because of the twisting between the two layers that decouples them in this way, "Sanchez-Yamagishi says.
Treating the surface of medical devices would have a greater impact on patients considered at high risk of infection such as trauma victims from road traffic collisions or combat operations,

the amount of blue light the nano-spirals emit varies as the angle of the plane of polarization is rotated through 360 degrees.
Silver and platinum nano-spirals could be made in the same way. Because of the tiny quantities of metal actually used, they can be made inexpensively out of precious metals,
