Many countries are rapidly shifting their energy generation from fossil fuels to renewable sources like wind and solar. While these have many advantages, they are also dependent on weather for their output. To reduce uncertainty and improve energy production, the field of energy meteorology has been developed to analyze and forecast weather patterns and their effects on renewable energy systems.

Topics Magnetic resonance, Energy efficiency, Household appliances, Refrigerators, Flow visualization, Fluid flows, Turbulent flows, Velocimetry Magnetic resonance velocimetry (MRV) is a flow visualization technique extending to opaque and complex internal structures. It measures both mean velocity field and turbulent kinetic energy (TKE), two factors important for improving energy efficiency and reducing flow-induced noise.

Topics Ultra-high vacuum, Ultracold atoms, Atomic and molecular beams, Doppler broadening effects, Magneto-optical trap, Laser cooling, Transition metals, Laser fluorescence spectroscopy, Dark states Atomic beams are central to the study of atomic properties. While some elements, like alkalis, are easily produced in a beam by sublimation in a vacuum, others are not.
