Imperial College London and BP today announce a £4.5 million project to research the use of energy in cities.
The BP Urban Energy Systems project at Imperial will explore how money and energy could be saved in the future if cities integrated the systems that supply them with resources.
The project was announced today at the launch of Imperial’s Energy Futures Lab, which aims to play a major role in setting the energy agenda over the next 20 years.
The Ur
Increasing the safety and reliability of nuclear power as a solution for satisfying energy needs is the challenge addressed by a new initiative announced today. The £6.1 million Keeping the Nuclear Option Open programme will investigate how nuclear power can become a more appealing option for future energy production.

Technical Research Centre of Finland, VTT has supervised the development of building technology that cuts the amount of energy required for heating in a block of flats by 70 per cent. The first apartment constructed with this low-energy technology was completed in the city of Espoo Finland, in the summer. Building of an entire block of flats utilising the same technology is scheduled to begin next summer.
Research on low-energy building in Finland has mainly focused on single-fami
The small device invented and developed by the St. Petersburg chemists can be easily hold in hand. It allows to perform real-time control of mercaptans content in petroleum derivatives – these sulfur compounds are extremely undesirable in gasoline.
In general, nobody likes these sulphur compounds. Besides, they reek – but fortunately, we rarely come across this property. More often they play mean tricks remaining unrecognized since even a small doze of these harmful substances
The first Norwegian-built satellite was launched yesterday from a Russian space base
The Norwegian satelite, called NCBUE-2 measures 10x10x10 centimeters and weighs one kilo.
A group of 80 students have built the satellite, which contains 1000 components, including a miniature computer, antennae, steering systems, solar panels and batteries.
The Agricultural University of Norway is primarily responsible for deciding which tasks the satellite is to carry out. The s
In her PhD thesis at the Public University of Navarre, Industrial Engineer Marta Barreras Carracedo put forward a new method of designing controllers based on QFT (Quantitative Feedback Theory) and which facilitates its real implantation in the government of real physical processes. The thesis itself validates the method putting into practice two concrete cases, an industrial electric furnace used for the drying of large pieces of composite and a heat exchanger in a solar water-heating plant.
