Well Played: For Researcher Marie-Agathe Charpagne, Music And Metals Go Hand In Hand

Dorothy Pomerantz
January 23, 2019
The annual Ile-de-France piano competition can be a nerve-racking affair. Pianists from around the world converge on the 2,000-seat Salle Malesherbes auditorium in Maisons-Laffitte, a few miles northwest of Paris, to compete for the top prize.
But when Marie-Agathe Charpagne sat down to play “Apres une Lecture de Dante” by Franz Liszt, in 2016, she was perfectly composed. In front of an audience of her fellow competitors, her hands flew over the keys, always landing on the right notes, while her bare feet skimmed the pedals, giving added depth to the music flowing from the instrument.

Rotterdam’s famous windmills, cube houses, and tulip gardens will soon have to compete for attention with a towering newcomer. GE announced plans this week to erect a prototype of the world’s largest wind turbine, the Haliade-X, on the city’s outskirts. The turbine has a rotor that measures 220 meters in diameter — twice the length of a football field — and stretches 260 meters from its base to blade tips. That’s nearly three times the height of New York’s Statue of Liberty, measured from the ground to the tip of the torch.

Just Deserts: Oman's New Wind Turbine Can Handle Sandstorms And Desert Sun

December 28, 2018
When it comes to renewables, a hot desert can be an oasis for solar power, but there are two big reasons why wind farms rising among sand dunes were — until recently — just a mirage. “Heat and sand make it difficult for normal wind turbines to operate in the desert,” says Rebeca Calderon, a program manager at GE Renewable Energy in Barcelona.

December 20, 2018

Helsinki in early December can be a dark and chilly place, but Timo Heikkinen had a bounce in his step walking through Slush, Europe’s largest startup gathering, earlier this month. The conclave, named for the Finnish capital's ubiquitous winter feature, was started in 2011 by a group of entrepreneurial engineering students keen on finding kindred spirits. "Our whole point was not to play pretty, but focus on content," a former organizer said.
