WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 (TNSres) -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory issued the following news: By Lauren Biron Researchers used the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument to map how nearly 6 million galaxies cluster across 11 billion years of cosmic history. Their observations line up with what Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts. * * * Key Takeaways * A complex analysis of DESI's first year of data provides one of the most stringent tests yet of  more

PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania, Nov. 19 (TNSres) -- The U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory issued the following news: NETL researchers have developed a low-cost process for converting coal tar waste into a high-quality graphene -- material that can increase performance of energy-storing supercapacitor systems by up to 55%. Supercapacitors store electrical energy and, in some ways, are comparable to batteries. One primary difference is that supercapacitors can be charge  more
