    The world’s largest wind farm in development just started powering homes.

    It’s also the first time that a massive, next-generation wind turbine called the Haliade-X has come online offshore. Imagine the Washington Monument teetering atop the Statue of Liberty (pedestal included) — that’s about how high this turbine towers above the water at 853 feet (260 meters) tall. Each rotation can power an average British home for two days. The Dogger Bank Wind Farm being built in the North Sea and its first Haliade-X is now sending power to Britain’s national grid. By 2026, when the project is complete, it should be able to power six million UK homes.

    The Nobel Prize in physics goes to scientists who “have given humanity new tools for exploring the world of electrons.”

    Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’Huillier figured out how to use quick bursts of light to study electrons that can whiz by at 43 miles per second.

    “Think of a rotating fan at its highest speed: each blade is a blur. But if you point a strobe light at the fan, every flash will illuminate a frozen moment in time,” the New York Times writes.
