BETTER TECHNOLOGY:
Accelerating new energy technologies
“We have to figure out how to accelerate the introduction of new energy technologies in different sectors,” says Lester, who has led studies of national and regional productivity, competitiveness, and innovation for governments and industrial groups around the world. “The common debate is about which technology is better, but what we have paid less attention to as a country is the ways in which new technologies find their way into the marketplace.” Read full interview with Prof. Lester in Spectrum >> |
 Prof. Buongiorno receives ASME Best Paper Award
Prof. Jacopo Buongiorno has been selected as the recipient of the 2008
Heat Transfer Division Best Paper. The paper entitled "Convective Transport
in Nanofluids," published in the ASME Journal of Heat Transfer, Vol. 128, March 2006,
