Archimedes discovered the law of hydrostatics; Euler is, to date, considered the most successful mathematician of all time; and Newton formulated the law of gravitation. Second, they all spent considerable time working on the mathematical constant known as "pi." But w

This is great news, yet introduces an unexpected challenge. In a given geographical area, newly installed solar and wind capacity will likely be producing electricity at the same time with the existing solar capacity. This can result in excess electricity from renewable sources during a certain time of the day, and no energy being produced when the sun isn’t shining, and the wind isn’t blowing. So

It took more than 40 years for half of all U.S. households to have a telephone after its invention, but only 10 years for half of the U.S. population to own a cell phone1. At 1,454 feet, the Empire State building stood as the world’s tallest building for nearly 40 years after it was built in 1931. But in the 40 years since, that mark has been topped numerous times, and was nearly doubled by t

With the cost of $50,000 for a single tire and consumption of up to 30 gallons of fuel an hour, it could cost over a million dollars a year to operate a mine haul truck. With such high costs and almost continuous use of equipment, even small improvements yield into major affordability gains for miners. Let’s define affordability as minimizing the cost to acquire, maintain and dispose the equipm
