California added 1,200 megawatts of battery energy storage to its electrical grid over the last six months, further building on its nation-leading capacity and pushing the state closer to its clean energy goals, officials said […]
The forecasts are eye-popping: utilities saying they’ll need two or three times more electricity within a few years to power massive new data centers that are feeding a fast-growing AI economy.This post was originally published […]
A McGill University-led research team has demonstrated the feasibility of a sustainable and cost-effective way to desalinate seawater. The method—thermally driven reverse osmosis (TDRO)—uses a piston-based system powered by low-grade heat from solar thermal, geothermal […]
The world’s first automatic and adaptive, dual-mode light-emitting diode (LED)-based optical wireless power transmission system, that operates seamlessly under both dark and bright lighting conditions, has been developed by scientists at Science Tokyo. The system, […]
QUT researchers have identified why some materials can block heat more effectively, which is a key feature for energy conversion, insulation and gas storage.This post was originally published on this site.
Using a network of synchronized sensors, a new system provides energy and meteorological data every tenth of a second to more accurately predict the performance of solar plants.This post was originally published on this site.
Hole-selective self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are ultrathin organic films that play a crucial role in modern optoelectronic devices, particularly in perovskite and silicon-perovskite tandem solar cells. However, their inherent instability often compromises operational performance of the […]
An international research team led by the University of Bayreuth has developed an innovative method for producing green hydrogen directly from seawater—without the use of additional reagents. The researchers report their findings in the Journal […]
The formula powering aqueous zinc-iodine batteries has been brought under the microscope, with researchers from the University of Adelaide finding a way to enhance their performance.This post was originally published on this site.
It is common for nuclear engineers to be concerned with the disposition of nuclear waste. After all, the United States alone currently has about 90,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel stored in concrete casks […]
