New energy-saving glass. In summer, the glass suppresses solar heating (near infrared), while boosting radiative cooling (long-wave infrared) - a natural phenomenon where heat emits through surfaces towards the cold universe - to cool the room. In winter, it does the opposite to warm up the room. ntu.edu.sg/news/detail/en…
I have a question.. in nuclear power plants such as chnpp or kursk or smolensk all buildings are connected with pipes that travel on the surface I suppose they will be of different things, such as energy, water etc ... but my big doubt is because they have such sudden curves everywhere reddit.com/gallery/rp1k3v

Can Surface Energy (Tension) Be Negative?
In some sources I read, it is written that surface energy can't be negative. However, this doesn't really make sense since surface energy should be negative if molecules on interphase have lower potential energy compared to the bulk.
If molecules on the surface experience interactions or bonds more favourable compared to bulk, surface energy should be negative. This doesn't happen often though, so surface energy is positive for most interphases.

Idol Helios! If you’re struggling with a balls shape don’t be scared to change surfaces. I was seeing way too much early reaction so I polished it. Saves its energy way better. v.redd.it/xkvu6esn2e081
The research found that surface temperatures on the green roof were significantly lower, in some cases by up to 20°C during summer. This improved the solar energy output by 3.6 percent, equating to $2595 over the eight-month duration of the project. renewableenergymagazine.c…
With mankind aiming to establish a lunar base in the next two decades, researchers have looked at how we could build critical structures on the Moon’s surface, suggesting solar energy and cast regolith as the most viable option labdownunder.com/why-cast…
Why do smaller nanoparticles have lower wavelength surface plasmon resonance absorptions (higher energy)?
What makes it harder for electrons to resonate in smaller particle sizes?
The shorter the wavelength, the more harmful the Ultraviolet radiation. UVC radiation is the highest energy portion of the UV radiation spectrum. UVC radiation from the sun does not reach the earth's surface because it is blocked by the ozone layer in the atmosphere.
LPT: Put a side table next to your desk where you work. Having a low surface to put your coffee, soda, or energy drink on will prevent it from spilling on your laptop.
As a graphic designer and artists, my laptop is the most expensive thing I own. I have lost so many computers to wayward energy drinks, especially since my son was born.
A few years ago I made a policy for myself that I NEVER set a drink on the same surface as my electronics. This lead me to get side tables everywhere that I work. There is always a comfortable place for me to put my drink, and when my son flies by on his tricycle and knocks into my desk my drink spills on the floor.

This is the first ever player-powered football pitch in the world. Built in the favelas of Rio in Brazil, it has 200 specially designed tiles beneath the surface, which use the kinetic energy released by the players to power the floodlights.
If I had unlimited time and energy, and I had a wide, flat stone surface that I walked in a loop of the same radius over and over, how long would it take for my walking to begin carving a circle into the stone?

Scientists showed that glycine, the simplest amino acid and an important building block of life, can form in dense interstellar clouds well before they transform into new stars and planets. Glycine can form on the surface of icy dust grains, in the absence of energy, through ‘dark chemistry'. qmul.ac.uk/media/news/202…
How much thermal energy could a 1” heat pipe transport to the surface of a glacier?
I am interested in the possibility of increasing the radiative cooling of large ice masses (glaciers and polar ice), for obvious reasons. It seems clear that accelerating the migration of heat energy to the surface during cold periods would accelerate radiative cooling to space during night/dark/cold periods. Non-wicking heat pipes should accomplish this and act has highly conductive thermal diodes.
What I am not equipped to estimate is the rate of energy transfer. This is required for estimating the costs and benefits for such a system. If you are qualified to model these systems, I would love to hear your thoughts and explore the viability of a heat pipe-based system for the preservation of glacial and polar ice.
Finally found a basketball court to skate in! Perfect to try my new radar energies ✨the surface is so smooth it took a moment to get used to after skating on parking lots for a month.
