Most hardware manufacturers and vendors, from processors to hard disk drives manufacturers, are claiming that their products are going green, which means better energy efficiency while keeping performance at a high level. While this may very well be the truth, the high power to performance ratios are not enough to st... |

There is a trend nowadays, even among the hardcore, performance-centered and high-end hardware companies, to release "green" or at least a little "greener" products. Corsair is well known for its high performance and good overclocking capabilities of its computer memory modules. What few know is that Corsair has some... |

With a strong rocket-like body, up to 7.2 m (24 ft) long and up to 3.4 tons heavy, the white shark hunts from fish (including other sharks) to seals and dolphins. They can suddenly attack swimmers, surfers or boats, sinking them, but humans do not seem to represent their favorite dish. They bite once and release the ... |

The power supply units( PSU for short) manufacturer Hiper released a range of PSUs that have four USB ports in the back of the unit. For those users that have few or no external USB ports this may come as a blessing, but the entire power supply unit, named Type R II, is rated at an impressive 770W of output power. As... |

Every computer needs a power supply unit and the better the PSU the more stable and reliable the system is. A good power supply unit also protects the computer's hardware components for the occasional power fluctuations, shocks and overvoltages. Another aspect of good and reliable power supply units is that, as ... |

It looks as if the entire computer manufacturing industry is having a collective green "fit". It is not something really new, some power regulations were installed long ago, but not until now were they so closely observed and respected. Don't get me wrong: I'm all in favor of a greener and environment frien... |

American citizens are not very fond of nuclear powerplants, in fact, of anything that involves the word "nuclear." This is somewhat understandable considering that for half a century they lived with the constant threat of global nuclear war, caused by the arms race and constant showoffs from both the former Soviet U... |

Let's see how the situation looks from above the battle field. Intel has a strong market share in its grasp thanks to a large number of products (processors, chipsets and so on) and a great marketing and advertising department. AMD on the other hand, is losing some market shares mainly because of a much more red... |

I know many computer users who only shut down their systems only when yelled at. They claim that powering up again in the morning when they return to work is a nuisance, as they have to wait for the operating systems, network services and so on. So they simply leave their computer systems online, in full power mode ... |

One of the most important components in a computer system and at the same time one of the least respected (probably because of the huge number of very cheap and poorly made Chinese computer cases that come bundled with PSUs) is the power source unit, also known as the PSU. Many problems may arise if a poor quality or... |

What I'm talking about is NBC's new science-fiction serial drama that features people with super-powers. No, it's not "X-men" either, and definitely not anything like "The 4400", but whatever it is, it looks great. I was suspicious at first, reading the plot outline and thinking "hey, they did that alr... |

Harvesting solar energy is a clever way to make use of a clean and renewable fuel. You don't need to dig the ground for it, there are no pipes and powerplants, and best of all, it's ecological. Using the roof to produce electricity is a good idea, but many people don't want to use the inaesthetical an... |

Yesterday, two of the astronauts on board the International Space Station floated outside to work on the retraction of the starboard solar array. They helped fold up an old solar wing and to resurrect a rotating joint that will make the new pair of solar arrays follow the Sun.Last week, two Russian cosmonauts on bo... |

Superconductivity is a phenomenon occurring in certain materials at extremely low temperatures, characterized by exactly zero electrical resistance and the exclusion of the interior magnetic field. They are thought to appear usually below -140 degrees Celsius. A team of researchers at Princeton University used a cus... |

Wind tunnels are research tools developed to assist with studying the effects of air moving over or around solid objects. The fastest wind tunnels are called hypersonic wind tunnels and are designed to generate a hypersonic flow field in the working section. The speed of these tunnels vary from Mach 5 to 15.The worl... |
