- Developer Plans To Catapult its Growth & Penetration of the Wind and Solar Industry

Canada's leading renewable energy developer, SkyPower Corp, a Lehman Brothers Company, announced today that it is considering strategic alternatives to augment its growing capital base and accelerate development of its wind and solar pipelines. The Company's portfolio of wind and solar projects -- in various stages of development and construction -- represents in excess of 10,000 MW of potential renewable energy.

Don't put a down payment on that invisible plane just yet but a team of scientists from Boston College and Duke University developed a highly-engineered metamaterial capable of absorbing all of the light that strikes it – to a scientific standard of perfection.

The metamaterial uses tiny geometric surface features to successfully capture the electric and magnetic properties of a microwave to the point of total absorption.

The group used computer simulations based on prior research findings in the field to design resonators able to couple individually to electric and magnetic fields to successfully absorb all incident radiation, according to the findings in Physical Review Letters..
