A new method for constructing special solar cells could significantly increase their efficiency. Not only are the cells made up of thin layers, they also consist of specifically arranged nanoblocks. This has been shown in a new study by an international research team led by the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), which was published […]
Geoforce, manufacturer of the world’s toughest and most reliable high-value asset tracking systems, introduces its latest innovation – the next generation of solar-powered tracking technology, the Geoforce GT2. The GT2 leverages more than 14 years of IoT manufacturing leadership and “built tough” engineering innovation. Just this month, the ultra-rugged and secure satellite-based […]
The honor of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry went to those who developed lithium-ion rechargeable batteries. These batteries have become an essential energy source for electronic devices ranging from small IT devices to electric vehicles. Tesla, a leading U.S. automaker, recently emphasized the need to establish an innovative production system and […]
With the help of X-ray tomography, scientists have for the first time observed the evolution of materials inside solid state batteries during the charging and discharging processes. The breakthrough observations — detailed Thursday in the journal Nature Materials — could help researchers develop more efficient solid state battery materials. For their study, researchers used a […]
Imagine looking for the optimal configuration to build an organic solar cell made from different polymers. How would you start? Does the active layer need to be very thick, or very thin? Does it need a large or a small amount of each polymer? Knowing how to predict the specific composition and cell design […]
NASA is one step closer to understanding the solar power challenges and opportunities on the Moon’s surface after completing the build and readiness review of the Photovoltaic Investigation on the Lunar Surface, or PILS, experiment. The agency overcame multiple engineering challenges to get the experiment ready for integration with a commercial lander for a […]
