ENG: Ocean waves represent one of the largest and most consistent sources of renewable energy, yet converting their motion into electricity remains a difficult engineering problem. Many existing wave energy converters perform well only within a narrow range of sea conditions, which reduces their practical value in the ocean’s constantly changing environment. To address this limitation, a researcher from the University of Osaka investigated a gyroscopic wave energy converter, a system designed to harvest wave power more efficiently across a broader range of frequencies.
How the Video Game Doom Became Useful for Science
ENG: Doom, the video game released in 1993, later became more than a form of entertainment. Over the years, researchers started to use it in scientific studies and technical experiments. Its role in science grew after the game’s source code was released publicly in 1997, because scientists and developers could then modify it and adapt it to many different systems. As a result, Doom became a research tool and a widely recognized example of experimental computing.
