5,900 Natural Gas Leaks Under Washington, D.C.
More than 5,893 leaks from aging natural gas pipelines have been found under the streets of Washington, D.C., by a research team from Duke University and Boston University. A dozen of the leaks could have posed explosion risks, the researchers said. Some manholes had methane concentrations as high as 500,000 parts per million of natural […]

Corpus Christi Area Measurement Society 2014 School and Exhibition
The Corpus Christi Area Measurement Society (CCAMS) School and Exhibition will be held February 11-12, 2014 at the Omni Bayfront Hotel in Corpus Christi, Texas. Following last year’s record attendance, this event will again focus on hydrocarbon measurement technologies for both gas and liquids that are most applicable to the rapidly expanding Eagle Ford Shale […]
‘Superlens’ Extends Range of Wireless Power Transfer
Inventor Nikola Tesla imagined the technology to transmit energy through thin air almost a century ago, but experimental attempts at the feat have so far resulted in cumbersome devices that only work over very small distances. But now, Duke University researchers have demonstrated the feasibility of wireless power transfer using low-frequency magnetic fields over distances […]
Perfecting the Control of Light Waves
A team at the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics (LAP) in Garching (Germany) has constructed a detector, which provides a detailed picture of the waveforms of femtosecond laser pulses (1 fs = 10-15 seconds). Knowledge of the exact waveform of these pulses enables researchers to reproducibly generate light flashes that are a thousand times shorter – […]

Battery development may extend range of electric cars
New anode quadruples life of lithium-sulfur battery, could also help store renewable energy more cheaply RICHLAND, Wash. – It’s known that electric vehicles could travel longer distances before needing to charge and more renewable energy could be saved for a rainy day if lithium-sulfur batteries can just overcome a few technical hurdles. Now, a novel […]
