Book excerpt: “If King had written a sequel to The Stand, it might look something like this monumental epic of a story.”—James Rollins, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Kingdom of Bones “As great as Wanderers was, Wayward is better.”—Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Road of Bones Five years ago, ordinary Americans fell under the grip of a strange new malady that caused them to sleepwalk across the country to a destination only they knew. They were followed on their quest by the shepherds: friends and family who gave up everything to protect them. Their secret destination: Ouray, a small town in Colorado that would become one of the last outposts of civilization. Because the sleepwalking epidemic was only the first in a chain of events that led to the end of the world—and the birth of a new one. The survivors, sleepwalkers and shepherds alike, have a dream of rebuilding human society. Among them are Benji, the scientist struggling through grief to lead the town; Marcy, the former police officer who wants only to look after the people she loves; and Shana, the teenage girl who became the first shepherd—and an unlikely hero whose courage will be needed again. Because the people of Ouray are not the only survivors, and the world they are building is fragile. The forces of cruelty and brutality are amassing under the leadership of self-proclaimed president Ed Creel. And in the very heart of Ouray, the most powerful survivor of all is plotting its own vision for the new world: Black Swan, the A.I. who imagined the apocalypse. Against these threats, Benji, Marcy, Shana, and the rest have only one hope: one another. Because the only way to survive the end of the world is together.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term 'nanobattery' can refer not only to the nanosized battery, but also to the uses of nanotechnology in a macro-sized battery for enhancing its performance and lifetime. Nanobatteries can offer many advantages over the traditional battery, including higher power density, shorter charging time, and longer shelf life. Nano-generators refer to the uses of nanosized devices and materials to convert mechanical, thermal and light-based energies into electricity. Similar to with traditional battery, in nanobatteries, the chemical energy is converted into electricity. This book addresses the fundamental design concepts and promising applications of nanobatteries and nanogenerators. Particular application areas include healthcare, biomedical, smart nanodevices and nanosensors, which may require new electric power sources, including self-powered ability and nanostructured electric power sources. In this regard, nanobatteries and nanogenerators represent the next generation of electric power.

Download or read book Silicon Nanowires written by Timothy Daniel Bogart and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the power demands of mobile technologies continue to increase, lithium-ion batteries are needed with greater power and energy density. Silicon anodes offer an alternative to commercial graphite with much greater gravimetric and volumetric Li storage. Si nanowires are particularly compelling anode materials because they provide short Li diffusion paths due to their narrow diameter combined with long continuous paths for electron transport down their length. To achieve reasonable battery performance in Si nanowire anodes, conductive carbon particles must be added to provide sufficient electrical conductivity through the anode layer. This lowers the capacity of the anode, but more importantly the carbon particles can segregate in the electrode layer during processing or as a result of mechanical stresses during cycling, leading to unreliable performance. Better performance can be achieved by altering the structure of the Si nanowire to improve electrical conductivity. Si nanowires with a conductive carbon coating were synthesized in a supercritical organic solvent using an organometallic tin precursor to seed growth. The coating eliminated the need for additional conductive additives and improved Si nanowire anode performance. In situ TEM experiments showed that the coated nanowires exhibit higher lithiation rates than bare Si nanowires, but the coating restricts volume expansion limiting the amount of Li storage. Nanowires with a crystalline Si core and amorphous Si shell were also synthesized. The thickness of the core and shell were controlled by altering the Si:Sn precursor ratio. Sn was found to incorporate strongly within the crystalline core, but not at all in the amorphous shell, creating nanowires with varying conductivity. The addition of tin improved Si nanowire performance in Li-ion batteries, eliminating the need for conductive additives. Lastly, the low-temperature limit on the solution synthesis of Si nanowires via in situ seeding was explored using tin, gallium, and indium seeds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “To avoid climate disaster, we have a single mission to protect, conserve and hand over the planet to the next generation. The time has already lapsed when we thought we could greedily exploit the exhaustible natural resources of mother earth. Now we have come to know that the world is not a piece of commodity to squander her natural wealth without offsetting the cost of emission or discharge of waste. There is only one considerably serious concern that will markedly define the future consequence of this planet more than any other, is the threat of global warming”….Inter Govt Panel On Climate Change Climate change is no longer a dilemma or a riddle to solve. Science has proved it beyond reasonable doubt. It is happening here and now with all of us where we have already crossed multiple tipping points of no return. Climate change is very complex, yet the solution is very simple. “Just stop burning fossil fuels”…A K Singh “We had a 67 percent chance of limiting the global temperature rise to below 1.50 C till 2018. We emit 42 Gt of CO2 every year. Now we have left not more than 420 Gt of CO2 budget to squander at current emission level within roughly another 8 years”….IPCC page 108, chapter 2. “People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of mass extinction. And all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you” !....Greta Thunberg Sweden
