One of the major drawbacks of photovoltaic systems is the high generation cost. To address this problem, the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency initiated a study to create a thousand 10 cm2 solar cells with over 50% efficiency, providing 500 mW in full sunlight, with reasonable manufacturing costs. Called the Very High Efficiency Solar Cell (VHESC) program, it hopes to take advantage of recent advances in nanotechnology by using engineered biological molecules to guide the assembly of inorganic materials into regular 3D structures, with dimensional and assembly control unattainable using current technologies. The program also hopes to benefit from the recent introduction of tools and processes to design and cost-effectively fabricate small-feature, complex, broad-spectrum non-imaging optics. - Author(s): I.

This paper focuses on one of the environmentally-friendly coal-based generating technologies, the so-called integrated gasification combined-cycle (IGCC) process. This process implies the production of a synthetic gas which provides the fuel source to a gas turbine power plant operating in combined-cycle mode. The IGCC process features the inherent efficiency of combined-cycle operation, more straightforward carbon separation, and fuel flexibility including the use of biomass. - Author(s): A. Russell

The Sheep Cooperative Research Center (CRC) was especially established to aid Australian sheep farmers improve the efficiency and productivity of their operations. The Sheep CRC is tasked with ensuring that these farmers are equipped with the technology to meet the needs of their customers in a profitable and sustainable manner. Under the e-sheep initiative, researchers have been developing individual animal management (IAM) systems and remotely operated IAM (RIAM) systems, based around the electronic identification of animals. Although the systems use existing technology, notably RFID tags, they are being implemented into unique systems adapted for the Australian sheep industry. The systems aim to maximize performance, lower costs and increase profitability. - Author(s): D. Robertson

This paper examines the controversy surrounding the real inventor of the telephone in view of recently discovered papers examined by LC Pocock of the Standard Telephones and Cables' (STC) electroacoustics laboratory. LC Pocock's findings appear to show that, more than a decade before Alexander Graham Bell won his controversial patent, Germany's Philipp Reiss built a telephone that worked at least as well as the one on which the patent was based. - Author(s): J.
