The station, called Fengning and located about 200 kilometers north of Beijing, will store up to 40 gigawatt-hours of energy, and help keep the grid on clean energy when the wind isn’t blowing or the sun’s not shining. The components are for startup NuScale , whose design promises to drastically reduce cost and installation time.

MIT, NASA engineers develop morphing wing

Green Car Congress

The wing was tested in a NASA wind tunnel. The new approach to wing construction could afford greater flexibility in the design and manufacturing of future aircraft. The design and testing of the robotic assembly system is the subject of an upcoming paper, Jenett says. Wing is assembled from hundreds of identical subunits.
