IEEE developing new standards for shipboard installations
The new standards will build upon, and are intended to be used in conjunction with, IEEE 45, "IEEE Recommended Practice for Electrical Installations on Shipboard." The standards projects will address new shipboard technologies and provide a consensus of recommended practices for design in marine electrical engineering as applied specifically to ships, shipboard systems, and equipment.
The new standards projects are:
IEEE P45.1, "Recommended Practice for Electrical Installations on Shipboard - Design"
IEEE P45.2, "Recommended Practice for Electrical Installations on Shipboard - Controls and Automation"
IEEE P45.3, "Recommended Practice for Electrical Installations on Shipboard - Systems Integration"
IEEE P45.4, "Recommended Practice for Electrical Installations on Shipboard - Marine Sectors and Mission Systems"
IEEE P45.5, "Recommended Practice for Electrical Installations on Shipboard - Safety Considerations"
IEEE P45.6, "Recommended Practice for Electrical Installations on Shipboard - Electrical Testing"
The standards are being developed by the IEEE Working Group for Electrical Installations on Shipboards, and sponsored by the IEEE Industry Applications Society's Petroleum & Chemical Industry Committee.

Electricity turns garbage into graphene
LONDON - Science doesn’t usually take after fairy tales. But Rumpelstiltskin, the magical imp who spun straw into gold, would be impressed with the latest chemical wizardry. Researchers at Rice University report today in Nature that they can zap virtually any source of solid carbon, from food scraps to old car tires, and turn it into graphene—sheets of carbon atoms prized for applications ranging from high-strength plastic to flexible electronics. Current techniques yield tiny quantities of picture-perfect graphene or up to tons of less prized graphene chunks; the new method already produces grams per day of near-pristine graphene in the…
