RSS Feed
RSS, sometimes known as Really Simple Syndication, is a popular means
of sharing content (such as news headlines) without requiring readers to
constantly visit a Web site to see what's new. RSS feeds contain headlines
and hyperlinks to longer articles or Web pages.
Facebook
Facebook is a free social networking website on which users join networks organized by city, region, workplace, or school to connect and interact with others. Profiles and company pages display content such as links, pictures, and videos which are posted by individuals and shared through a user’s networks.
Twitter
Twitter is a free micro-blogging website that allows its users to post and view other users’ updates, known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts limited to 140 characters, displayed on the author's profile page and delivered to other users (known as followers), who have subscribed to receive these updates on their homepage. Tweets may contain links to websites, articles, or videos that users wish to share.
LinkedIn
LinkedIn is a networking website used for professional and business-related networking. The site allows registered users to manage a list of contact details of people with whom they have done or may potentially do business—a list known as connections. User profiles act as online resumes and enable users to search job listings, post job announcements, and link with their employer’s profile to find colleagues.
YouTube
YouTube is a video sharing website on which users can upload, share, and view videos. User profiles, known as channels, display videos posted by the user, show video statistics (views, comments), and list subscribers, or followers, of the channel. Videos can also be viewed from the YouTube homepage by entering desired topics into the search field.

NETL Researchers Awarded Supercomputer Time through DOE’s Office of Science
Two researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory have been awarded time on a high-performance supercomputer to conduct projects on new materials associated with electrical power generation.
In 1911, a planned coal-mine explosion at the Bureau of Mine's first research site in Pittsburgh, PA, proved beyond doubt the highly explosive nature of coal dust, which had been widely considered inert and harmless. The Bureau's efforts to improve coal-mine safety saved countless lives, as researchers went on to develop coal-dust controls, cooler-burning explo-sives, and techniques for minimizing spark and flame.
The Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy typically manages more than 500 active research and development projects spanning a wide range of coal, petroleum and natural gas topics. You can access information on each of these projects from the Fossil Energy Online Project Database.
