Created for the May 2009 cover of Earth Magazine, this art represents smart-grid technology. Smartgrid technology's goal is to efficiently use energy where it is needed, sharing it with communities that have higher demand, and making the most of limited resources: both existing energy sources, and renewable energy.
A thin layer of dye particles helps to absorb and transfer the energy of the sun, increasing the efficiency of current solar technology. Digitally rendered for the National Science Foundation.
Created to highlight Arctic research during the International Polar Year. Ancient peoples used Inksuits, or rock cairns to help them navigate the landscape. Today, scientists use knowledge from local people, as well as new sensor technology to learn more about the changing landscape. Digitally rendered for the National Science Foundation.
Researchers at Oregon State Univesity are developing technology to harness the power of the ocean; a potential new alternative energy source. Digitally rendered for the National Science Foundation.
Researchers breifly attained frictionless motion with a spinning Cyanide moleclue in water. Digitally rendered for the National Science Foundation.
Nanotechnology sounds like a futuristic, far off technology. In fact, it is already currently in use in many common products. Helping to make them safe, stronger and more effective. Digitally rendered for the National Nanotechnology Initiative.
Many different kinds of sensors, from ground based to airplane borne, help gather data about hurricanes in the hope of better understanding and thus predicting them.
Reserachers are developing new green technology tath both helps use farm waste, and safely store concentrated amounts of natural gas. Digitally rendered for the National Science Foundation.
