An anthropologist examines whether Lebanese turning to solar energy is a story of resilience, ecological triumph, or something else. After an absence of several years, I have recently returned to Lebanon, where I have been conducting ethnographic research for more than a decade. In the intervening years, the pandemic erupted, the country’s economy collapsed, and […]
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – A man is facing terrorism-related charges after police say he crashed his car through a gate at a solar plant outside Las Vegas and set his car on fire, extinguishing a large area, The 8 News Now Investigators have learned. . Around 11:30 am Wednesday, Las Vegas Metro police responded to […]
In recent years, lithium ion batteries have been widely used in many fields. Compared with traditional lithium ion battery cathode materials, more lithium ions in lithium rich manganese based cathode materials of unit mass participate in energy storage. However, in the process of battery reaction, stress accumulation and lattice oxygen loss will […]
With a new design, lithium-sulfur batteries could reach their full potential. Batteries are everywhere in daily life, from cell phones and smart watches to the increasing number of electric vehicles. Most of these devices use well-known lithium-ion battery technology. And while lithium-ion batteries have come a long way since they were first introduced, they […]
Editor’s note: This story has been updated to correct the headline. We regret the error. Among the many space-bound satellites on the SpaceX rocket launched earlier this week was a small prototype designed to harvest the sun’s power. Scientists hope to show that cosmic solar energy is more than a futuristic concept, and perhaps the […]
Space-based solar power could provide round-the-clock access to renewable energy, sidestepping one of the technology’s biggest limitations. Now the idea will get its first real test after a Falcon 9 rocket successfully launched experimental hardware designed to assess its feasibility. The idea of setting up giant solar panels in orbit around the Earth and radiating […]
