...recipient of the 1955 Nobel Prize for Physics for his work describing the structure of the hydrogen atom, Willis Lamb helped spur the development of key theories underpinning modern physics. Lamb was once a student of the Manhattan Project's Robert Oppenheimer, and Lamb's discovery that different energy levels existed among electrons in hydrogen atoms catalyzed a new understanding of quantum mechanics. His work has also advanced the study of lasers and electromagnetism...
...Ford’s top environmental priorities, including “ecoboosting”—reducing carbon emissions and increasing fuel economy without compromising performance—and reducing the weight of their cars. Ford has begun researching advanced technologies such as biofuel, hybrid engines, and hydrogen fuel cells in their cars and plans to begin implementing them in the next fifteen years. Cischke emphasized that none of the various solutions that are being researched at the moment will be a panacea.“There’s a lot we’re working...
...Democrats and environmentalists, who call for a strong carbon-cap-and-trade program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions over time. Gingrich, true to his GOP roots, advocates private market incentives to encourage the development and dissemination of alternative energy technology, like a $1 billion prize for creating a workable hydrogen-powered car engine. In his view a Kyoto Protocol-style policy will never work, largely because the developing countries like India and China will never sign on to a plan that might hamper their exploding economies. Instead our only hope is to advance low-carbon technologies that are good enough...
...environmentally active,” she said. For example, Sustainable Allston, a subcommittee within the EAC, encouraged students to be active in ensuring that the University’s campus across the river would be designed with sustainability in mind. The Student Astronomers at Harvard Radcliffe brought a hydrogen alpha telescope so that students could look at the sun while learning about environmental issues. The Resource Efficiency Program (REP) also took the opportunity to recognize the winners of the Eco Project Competition and to award the Green Cup. The Eco Project Competition honors groups of students who complete unique environmental...
...Remember basic high-school science, where an electric current passed through water produces hydrogen and oxygen? Get the electricity from solar power, collect the hydrogen to use as fuel, and carbon doesn't even enter the equation. Honda, Mercedes-Benz, General Motors and BMW have new models that run on hydrogen, but we don't see much enthusiasm from governments. Is it because hydrogen, being so simple to generate, could be too difficult to tax? John Don, Karalee, Queensland...
