Fraunhofer Institutes Looking to Mass Produce Textile-Based Solar Cells

TECH & INNOVATION 08.13.2019 05:58 AM

The textile-based solar cells may be used on buildings and lorries. Fraunhofer Institutes and their partners have been looking to increase the market for the textile industry and this led them to the development of textile-based solar cells that they wish to produce in a commercialized scale in the future.

Physicists Copy Some Properties of the Sun in a Ball

08.01.2019 10:30 AM

Plasma physicists copy the solar wind from the sun in a 3-meter diameter aluminum ball. In 1958, solar physicist Eugene Parker predicted the existence of the solar wind, which is a constant stream of charged particles ejected by the sun from its corona.

Mystery of Defects on Solar Cells Now Solved

Finally, the team of researchers from Manchester has solved the flaw that came with solar panels. It took them 40 years.

Moving To Renewables Will Be Slow and Costly, But Worth It

07.19.2019 08:43 AM

The global demand to make the great shift to using renewable sources of energy has become stronger today.

Engineer Discovers a Way to Convert Wasted Heat into Energy

07.18.2019 08:11 AM

Battery life could potentially be improved by 50 percent using this technology. At the University of Utah, a mechanical engineer named Mathieu Francoeur has found a slight technicality when it comes to a principle that allows wasted heat to be recycled into usable electricity.

Aerogel Could Revolutionize Solar Energy Collection

07.04.2019 08:50 AM

The material lets sunlight pass through easily but blocks solar heat from escaping. A newly developed material that is so perfectly transparent you can barely see it could unlock many new uses for solar heat.

These Ancient Mounds Might Not Be the Earliest Fossils on Earth in the End

06.27.2019 09:58 AM

Tiny mounds touted because the earliest ossified proof of life on Earth may be twisted rock. Found in 3.7-billion-year-old rocks in Gronland, the mounds powerfully check conic microbic mats known as stromatolites, researchers according in 2016.

Coal Power Subsidies Tripled Despite Climate Warnings

06.27.2019 09:53 AM

Given the pledge to commit to reducing carbon emissions to help save the Earth from further destruction, it seems the members of the G20 countries have overlooked the fact that coal-fired power plants are major contributors to the global warming problem.

Bizarre metals could facilitate unlock mysteries of however Earth’s magnetic flux forms

06.26.2019 08:13 AM

Weird materials referred to as Weyl metals may reveal the secrets of however Earth gets its magnetic flux. The substances might generate a generator impact, the method by that a whirling, electrically conductive material creates a magnetic flux, a team of scientists reports within the Oct. twenty-six Physical Review Letters.
