- Using CO2 to extract geothermal energy
- 17 Nov 2009 As part of developing new energy resources that don’t emit carbon dioxide, the DOE is funding 9 trials that use supercritical CO2 to extract more geothermal energy. The idea started in 2000 at Los Alamos National Laboratory.... Read more …about Using CO2 to extract geothermal energy
- What happens when materials break up?
- 17 Nov 2009 Because of the Roadrunner supercomputer’s unique capability, scientists are for the first time attempting to create atomic-scale models that describe how voids are created in materials, mostly metals, how they grow, and merge; how the materials may swell or shrink under stress; and how once broken bonds...
