Researchers created a 'desirable' electricity generation mix for 2050 that includes 50 percent more energy from renewables than current projections by taking into account the demographics and preferences of US racial groups, as clarified by a nationally representative survey of 3,000 US residents. Combining such bottom-up input with top-down energy system goals established by policymakers could help meet both population needs and preferences, as well as emission and climate goals. As policymakers around the world strive to reduce carbon emissions and meet climate goals, new research identifies a critical group whose views could help shape energy planning for the better:

FIFA will introduce new technology with work on offside calls at this year's World Cup in Qatar, utilizing an appendage following camera framework. FIFA said Friday it is prepared to send off semi-mechanized offside innovation (SAOT) that utilizes numerous cameras to follow player developments in addition to a sensor in the ball — and will rapidly show 3D pictures on arena screens at the competition to assist fans with figuring out the ref's call. FIFA introduces a new innovation with assistant referees for the third World Cup in a row. The objective line innovation was prepared for the 2014 competition

Heros utilized warm robots Monday to look for potential survivors caught under ice after a torrential slide set off by the breakdown of the biggest icy mass in the Italian Alps killed somewhere around six individuals and harmed eight others. Specialists said they didn't have the foggiest idea of the number of climbers that were hit when the icy mass gave way Sunday on Marmolada, the most elevated mountain in the Italian Dolomites. "We found bodies destroyed in an undefined tide of ice and trash extending north of 1,000 meters (3,280 feet)," Gino Comelli from the Alpine Rescue Service told

Scientists have discovered a way to create food that does not require biological photosynthesis by using artificial photosynthesis. A two-step electrocatalytic process converts carbon dioxide, electricity, and water into acetate. In order to grow, food-producing organisms consume acetate in the dark. The hybrid organic-inorganic system has the potential to increase the efficiency of sunlight conversion into food by up to 18 times for some foods. For millions of years, plants have evolved photosynthesis to convert water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight energy into plant biomass and the foods we eat. However, this process is inefficient, with only about 1% of the

Analysts have taken motivation from the universe of plants to create inventive and proficient nanoparticles that could be utilized to assemble the solar-powered chargers representing things to come. A group of specialists and scientists from the University of Surrey have combined nanoparticles that emulate what chlorophyll (the green color in many plants) does in nature — retain light and convert it to usable energy with high effectiveness. Their outcomes are distributed in Cell Reports: Physical Science. Past methodologies have not had the option to match what nature accomplishes; the productivity of light-engrossing shades drops when firmly pressed. In the review,

Scientists in Delft have prevailed with regards to magically transporting quantum data across a simple organization. This first of its sort is a significant stage towards a future quantum web. This advancement was made possible by an extraordinarily superior quantum memory and the improved nature of the quantum connects between the organization's three hubs.The specialists, working at QuTech — a coordinated effort between Delft University of Technology and the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) — are distributing their discoveries today in the logical journal Nature. The force of a future quantum web depends on the capacity to send
