A video taken by tiny drones sent into one of three damaged reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant showed a gaping hole in the thick-walled steel container of the core, with lumps of […]
The Aydin Group at LMU Munich has unveiled a novel strategy for making perovskite solar cells more robust against extreme temperature fluctuations. To this end, the researchers led by Dr. Erkan Aydin, group leader at […]
American Airlines and Google said Thursday that they significantly reduced the climate impact of some of the airline’s flights using an AI-based forecasting tool to help prevent contrails.This post was originally published on this site.
Powerful electronics don’t have to come at an environmental cost. Scientists at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed high-performance, lead-free piezoelectric thin films directly on standard silicon wafers. Their results mark a significant step toward production […]
A team from the University of Córdoba is using artificial intelligence to forecast the annual solar energy available in Andalusia through 2100 based on temperature data. Peak solar hour (PSH) is a key concept in […]
The number of renewable energy projects that are fully or partly Indigenous-owned is growing quickly in Canada, and our new research suggests that their benefits reach far beyond reducing greenhouse gas emissions.This post was originally […]
Researchers have built a drone that runs on hydrogen, to replace battery-powered drones that are too heavy and have too short a range. This technology could help fix power outages faster and replace dangerous helicopter […]
The rapid proliferation of robots and electronic devices is placing the world under a new and growing environmental burden. According to the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), global electronic waste (e-waste) reached […]
Researchers from the Photovoltaics and Thin-Film Electronics Laboratory (PV-Lab) in EPFL’s School of Engineering and CSEM have developed a new solar cell that combines exceptional voltage, high efficiency, and scalable manufacturing. The triple-junction device is […]
Multilateral development banks have emerged as major financiers of green hydrogen production in emerging markets and developing countries. However, a new study published in The Journal of Environment & Development finds that their approach to […]
