- Geeky Math Equation Creates Beautiful 3-D World December 10, 2009
  An attempt to take the 2-D fractal art known as the Mandelbrot set into three dimensions yields strange and beautiful results.
- Saturn’s Hexagon May Be Solar System’s Coolest Mystery December 10, 2009
  The Cassini spacecraft has returned the best images yet of the strange hexagonal jet stream that flows around the northern pole of Saturn. First discovered by the Voyager spacecraft in the early 1980s, the hexagon remains a beautiful mystery to astronomers, and one they’ve been waiting for another shot to see for almost three decades. “The longevity [.

- Geeky Math Equation Creates Beautiful 3-D World December 10, 2009
  > The quest by a group of math geeks to create a three-dimensional analogue for the mesmerizing Mandelbrot fractal has ended in success. They call it the Mandelbulb. The 3-D renderings were generated by applying an iterative algorithm to a sphere. The same calculation is applied over and over to the [...]
- That Crazy Spiral in the Sky? It Might Be Real December 9, 2009
  When we saw the pictures of the spiral in the Norwegian sky this morning, we immediately wrote it off as an impressively elaborate, funny-looking but well-executed hoax. You probably did too, even after reading Google Translated reports in Norwegian newspapers. Now, SpaceWeather.com, a trusted source run by NASA science writer Tony Phillips, says the “ […]
- Crazy Spiral in the Sky Might Be Real December 9, 2009
  When a strange spiral appeared in the sky above Norway, most assumed it was a hoax or perhaps a UFO, if you're a believer. Now, it appears there might be a better explanation: a malfunctioning Russian rocket. But do you think it's real?
- Green Fuel-Cell Makeover for Future Power Plants December 9, 2009
  Research on solid oxide fuel cells is gaining momentum toward providing the key to truly green natural-gas power plants. A new model showcases the possibilities.
- Green Fuel-Cell Makeover for Future Power Plants December 9, 2009
  While most green attention has been focused on wind, solar and other renewable resources, a team at MIT has proposed an alternative power plant that would use natural gas, but wouldn’t emit carbon dioxide. Crucially, the new plants wouldn’t burn natural gas, they’d feed it to solid oxide fuel cells, electrochemical devices that convert the […]
- Techmix: Camel + Skyscraper June 17, 2009
  This is the first of a new series of photographic posts that I’ll be doing based on my reading of David Edgerton’s The Shock of the Old. In it, he describes the disorientation that people experience when their sense of “technological time” is thrown off by the juxtaposition of what they think of as old [...]
- The Great Migration February 7, 2009
  I’m moving. Or at least this blog is moving over to it’s own, real domain. For the last few months, alexismadrigal.wordpress.com has been where www.greentechhistory.com takes you. Now greentechistory.com is its own site. If you go there, it should look pretty familiar because it’s exactly this blog reproduced over there. Being horrifically […]
- The Return of the Make-Your-Own Steam Age February 6, 2009
  At the beginning of the industrial revolution, right when Watt was getting his steam engine going, there were no centralized power plants. It was hard to move steam, so you put the coal-fired engines right where you needed the power. Electricity changed all that because it was easier to move electrons. But the old model of [...]
