Michael Harper for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online The concept is a simple one, borrowing from some very elementary principles. For instance, everyone knows the best way to capture and contain the most of an element or substance is with a funnel. These cones make it easier to put oil in our cars or fill small glass shakers from a larger bag of sugar. Now, some MIT engineers have worked out a computational model which shows how solar energy can be more or less funneled before...
Alan McStravick for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online The most abundant form of energy ever known has always been there. Through the course of human history, the Sun has offered, without cost, its light and heat for the benefit of every living organism on this rock we call Earth. The Sun is responsible for helping plants to grow, affecting temperatures in differing regions and producing winds. Our ability to harness these energies could help us to realize a future that is devoid of...

Lee Rannals for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online King's College London researchers reported in the journal Nature's Scientific Reports they have demonstrated how to separate colors and create "rainbows" using nanoscale structure on a metal surface. The team was able to trap light of different colors at different positions of a nanostructured area using specially designed nanostructures. Depending on the geometry of the nanostructure, a trapped rainbow could be created on a gold...
