Optimal and Robust Energy Transfer in Light Harvesting Complexes (Google Wkshop on Quantum Biology)
Google Workshop on Quantum Biology Optimal and Robust Energy Transfer in Light-Harvesting Complexes: A Peculiar Interplay of Quantum Coherence and Decoherence Presented by Masoud Mohseni October 22, 2010 ABSTRACT Recent advances in 2D electronic spectroscopy have provided direct evidence for existence of quantum dynamical coherence in photosynthetic energy transfer at physiological temperature. These experimental observations […]
Asymmetric Capacitor Lifter Experiment.wmv
Asymmetric capacitor lifter experiment video using a homemade Schlieren setup. The ‘lifter’ isn’t set up to fly I just wanted to see if I could observe any air motion around the capacitor electrodes. The voltage is about 28000 volts DC pulsed at 15kHz. First I set up the electrodes to get arcing the incrementally adjusted […]
Jericho to use solar-powered electricity
One of the world’s oldest cities is set to use one of the most advanced methods to receive electricity. About 20000 residents of the West Bank city of Jericho will be supplied with solar-powered electricity after the construction of a plant is completed. Jericho experiences year-round sunlight which, according to some, makes it an ideal […]

What’s wrong with the engine for a 2003 Saturn Ion to not accelerate accurately?
Question by sedated.groupie: What’s wrong with the engine for a 2003 Saturn Ion to not accelerate accurately? Between 25 and 45 miles an hour if you accelerate to quickly it does this jerking back and forth thing. Is it something that needs to be checked out quickly? And if so, do you know if it’s […]

The Universe – S01-E01 – Secrets of the Sun (Full Episode)
It is a fireball in the sky, a bubbling, boiling, kinetic sphere of white hot plasma, exploding and erupting. Its size is almost unimaginable–one million Earths would fit within its boundaries. In this violence is born almost all the energy that makes existence on Earth possible, yet, its full mysteries are only now beginning to […]
Ion Thruster
This video shows Neil’s science project (an ion thruster) operating, and producing thrust. In this video, you can see the device produce .34 grams of thrust. In the second half of the video, the corona can be seen very well. The scale is a very sensitive JS-50XV reloading scale (designed to measure grains of accelerant). […]
