Higher energy yield with torque vectoring gears
Wind turbines have a problem: Depending on the wind's force, the rotational speed of the turbine and thus of the generator changes. However, alternating current must be fed into the grid with precisely 50 (or 60) hertz. Typically ...

Mysterious 'blue lurker' stars likely got a spin boost by absorbing their partners
When astronomers discovered a new kind of star just a few years ago, they were puzzled: The stars were spinning far too quickly given their age. Nicknamed "blue lurkers," these stars hid for decades within clusters of other ...
