![A major inefficiency in the power grid is energy lost from high-voltage power lines in the form of heat. Emisshield recently experimented with coating these lines with its products and found a 30 percent reduction in heat and energy loss. With such new applications continuing to emerge, the company estimates it hasn’t covered even half the potential market for its NASA-based coatings.

![Researchers can extract a host of information from hyperspectral imaging of the planet. NASA and others will be paying customers for imagery from the German DESIS instrument, which has unprecedented spectral resolution, focusing on 235 bandwidths in the infrared and visible ranges. This comparatively crude Landsat compilation shows a snapshot of North and South America's crops. Prediction of local and global crop yields is just one of many valuable ways such imagery can be used.
