Optimal useful service life of household appliances analysed to cut environmental impacts

“A study by the UPV/EHU-University of the Basque Country shows that it is more efficient to invest in renewable energies than in “replacement schemes” for household appliances. To what extent do “replacement schemes” to substitute existing household appliances …

Physicists see electron whirlpools for the first time

“Long predicted but never observed, this fluid-like electron behavior could be leveraged for low-power next-generation electronics. Though they are discrete particles, water molecules flow collectively as liquids, producing streams, waves, whirlpools, and other classic fluid phenomena. Not so with electricity …
