Observation of Time-Crystalline Eigenstate Order on a Quantum Processor

Quantum many-body systems display rich phase structure in their low-temperature equilibrium states. However, much of nature is not in thermal equilibrium. Remarkably, it was recently predicted that out-of-equilibrium systems can exhibit novel dynamical phases that may otherwise be forbidden by...

Another tax payer funded "green energy" boondoggle. Wonder how many birds that thing roasts a year.

High-Tech Solar Projects Fail to Deliver

The $2.2 billion Ivanpah solar-thermal power plant in California and other high-tech solar projects aren't living up to promises their backers made about how much electricity they could generate.

Why aren't water wheels widely used for electric power generation? Could they be used in waterfalls?

Answer (1 of 2): Two big reasons. The amount of electricity available from water is limited by the amount of water and the height the water falls. It's very difficult to extract energy from a massive amount of slow moving water, like the lower Mississippi (I would say the Amazon, but that moves ...

if i lived on a river with decent flow year round it'd be tempting to get "something" to capture the energy even if it was just a novelty.

What if - hear me out - we build up a huge wall that would retain water and when needed it could feed a generator to create electricity ? Dam, that would be nice.
