Despite industry attempts to muddy the waters, years worth of data consistently shows that the sale of non-utility (or "competitive") electric supply to individual residential customers is a bad deal for consumers. A better solution? End sales of non-utility energy supply to individual residential customers, and fight climate change more effectively with strong renewable energy portfolio standards for utilities and community choice aggregation plans.

Newswise — Electrostatic capacitors play a crucial role in modern electronics. They enable ultrafast charging and discharging, providing energy storage and power for devices ranging from smartphones, laptops and routers to medical devices, automotive electronics and industrial equipment. However, the ferroelectric materials used in capacitors have significant energy loss due to their material properties, making it difficult to provide high energy storage capability.

(Nanowerk News) The ice-encrusted oceans of some of the moons orbiting Saturn and Jupiter are leading candidates in the search for extraterrestrial life. A new lab-based study led by the University of Washington in Seattle and the Freie Universität Berlin shows that individual ice grains ejected from these planetary bodies may contain enough material for instruments headed there in the fall to detect signs of life, if such life exists.
