Rome, will be built the largest photovoltaic plant in Italy

It is planned in the town of Rome a photovoltaic system with a peak power of over 26 megawatts for production of energy equal to 40 thousand megawatt-hours. In practice, the largest ever built here in Italy that will be able to meet the energy needs of 15 thousand families.

The plant will be built to Lanuvio (Rome) on land belonging to Agricultural-Inf. The agreement will be signed during the next few days with the multinational Sun Ray Renewable Energy, formerly engaged in Europe in the promotion and construction of large photovoltaic installations.

With the TV to surf the Internet

Youtube is now well on TV – but the contents are neither available in scope nor restricted.

Pity if the many funny, weird and annoying Youtube videos only on the laptop or office PC watch, instead of your sofa to the big TV screen. Up to now, it needed to Tufteleien and accessories such as a PC with a complicated streaming client, a media center or an Apple TV box. Nevertheless, it is also different: Lately, offer several TVs manufacturers models, which can be due to the connection to the router (via an Ethernet cable or wireless) direct access to the Internet. However, as quickly and fully as the computer is web access, unfortunately, not yet. Read the rest of this entry »

Office 2010 will be released in 32 versions and 64 bit

After the first rumors of last month, Microsoft confirmed the entries for an awarded for Office 2010 version in two 32-bit and 64.

The confirmation came after an exchange of emails with a Microsoft spokesperson, who said that Office 2010 will be for the first time also available 64-bit.

With 64-bit operating systems in rapid growth (accomplice Windows Vista) will be interesting to see how it will lead the new version of Office, whose output is planned for next year (probably January 2010), not before, however, the issue Service Pack 2 for Office 2007.

Reproduce stem cells from human skin

Two international teams of scientists were able to reprogram mouse skin cells so that they acquire the properties of stem cells.

This research marks a milestone, since the findings represent the discovery of a technique to obtain cells “pluripotent” without using human embryos.  Read the rest of this entry »

Venezuela will develop 20 projects in 2009 Antarctic

The total, 18 are scientific research in life sciences, geosciences and physics, areas established by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR for short), while the remaining two components focus on Logistics, and Education and Outreach.

One million strong as initial investment and the displacement of two campaigns-one with 21 air expeditionary air and sea with 7-boat crew, are characteristics that distinguish a second scientific expedition to the Venezuelan antarctica, named Proantar 2009, under the Venezuelan Antarctic this year plans to develop a portfolio of 20 projects.

A Nobel Prize for physics in the administration Obama

Barrack Obama, the newly elected President of the United States, has chosen to entrust the Department of Energy to a Nobel Prize in Physics, Steven Chu, engaged in seeking new sources of energy. 
Aged 60, Steven Chu is director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (the ‘Berkeley Lab’ in short version) for four years. On the website of the institution, it is a longstanding supporter of seeking scientific solutions to fight against climate change. He wanted to make Berkeley Lab, which the Department of Energy-a world leader in research on alternative energy sources.
Steven Chu has worked to include the creation of a multidisciplinary research center on solar energy, Helios, whose construction should begin in 2010. One of the main objectives of this center is to develop techniques for storage and transportation of energy from the sun.
The future head of the Department of Energy will need all these innovations to complete the targets for reducing emissions of greenhouse gases sought by Obama. It will also support the modernization of the national electricity distribution.
Steven Chu shared the 1997 Nobel Prize for Physics with Frenchman Claude Cohen-Tannoudji and American William Phillips, for their work on cold atoms. These physicists have managed to cool gases with lasers so that the atoms are slowed, trapped, and they can be studied at leisure.
