Novel High-Strength Iron Cement is a Carbon Dioxide Sink
Background: Portland cement traditionally used with inert aggregates to form construction concrete is made in a high-temperature process that releases large amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2). With rising energy costs, high temperature processes depress profits, and release of CO2 is undesirable from an environmental perspective. It would be ideal if Portland...

Target Axis Heliostat with Mechanically Coupled Reflector Deformation
This technology utilizes a mechanical coupling system that changes the shape of the reflectors on the heliostat throughout the day. In doing so, the incoming light from the sun is always focused to a sharp image. This increases the temperature at the device’s receiver and allows for a higher efficiency in converting the incoming solar...
