'Wonder Woman' actress says the party used the image without her consent
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is trying to make it harder for Republicans to avoid an embarrassing Senate rebuff of President Trump’s effort to steer billions of extra federal dollars to building barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border by declaring a national emergency.

Washington DC (SPX) Mar 05, 2019 - There are 5.5 million miles of power lines in this country - each one is losing energy right now. This ongoing 2 to 4 percent overhead loss could be reduced or eliminated if a lower resistance transmitter could be found. Many zero resistance materials have been demonstrated in the lab since superconductivity was discovered in 1911. Unfortunately, these superconductors require low temperatures. Progress toward commercially viable superconductors that operate at or... Читать дальше...
Oak Ridge TN (SPX) Mar 05, 2019 - Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Drexel University and their partners have discovered a way to improve the energy density of promising energy-storage materials, conductive two-dimensional ceramics called MXenes. The findings are published in Nature Energy.
Today's batteries, which rely on charge stored in the bulk of their electrodes, offer high energy-storage capacity, but slow charging speeds limit their application in consumer electronics and electric vehicles. Читать дальше...
New York NY (SPX) Mar 06, 2019 - Frost and Sullivan perspective on the acquisition of Maxwell Technologies by Tesla
One of the biggest game-changing news in the EV and energy storage industry is the impending acquisition of Maxwell Technologies for a reported $218 million with the all-stock-deal expected to be finalized in Q2, 2019. Maxwell Technologies is a pioneer in the design and manufacture of the high power density ultra-capacitors.

Riverside CA (SPX) Mar 08, 2019 - Electronic devices such as transistors are getting smaller and will soon hit the limits of conventional performance based on electrical currents.
Devices based on magnonic currents - quasi-particles associated with waves of magnetization, or spin waves, in certain magnetic materials - would transform the industry, though scientists need to better understand how to control them.

Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Mar 11, 2019 - Materials known as Mott insulators are odd things. Under normal electron band theory they ought to conduct electricity, but they do not, due to interactions among their electrons.
But now, scientists from the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research have shown that pulses of light could be used to turn these materials beyond simple conductors to superconductors - materials that conduct electricity without energy loss. This process would happen through an unconventional... Читать дальше...
Los Alamos NM (SPX) Mar 11, 2019 - A new tungsten-based alloy developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory can withstand unprecedented amounts of radiation without damage. Essential for extreme irradiation environments such as the interiors of magnetic fusion reactors, previously explored materials have thus far been hobbled by weakness against fracture, but this new alloy seems to defeat that problem.
"This material showed outstanding radiation resistance when compared to pure nanocrystalline... Читать дальше...
