by Sophie Jenkins London, UK (SPX) Feb 16, 2026 Manufacturing the next generation of solar panels could cut global carbon emissions by as much as 8.2 billion tonnes by 2035, according to a new international study led by researchers at the University of Warwick with colleagues from Northumbria, Birmingham and Oxford Universities. The team examined […]
by Sophie Jenkins London, UK (SPX) Feb 13, 2026 Pioneering research led by Northumbria University shows how the global solar industry can expand manufacturing of photovoltaic technology while further shrinking its environmental footprint. As solar power deployment accelerates to meet climate targets and rising electricity demand, the work tackles the challenge of making […]
by Riko Seibo Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Feb 16, 2026 With electric vehicles and grid storage expanding worldwide, engineers are looking for better ways to track how lithium ion batteries age under real driving and operating conditions. A new study supported by Jilin University and China FAW Group reports a deep learning based method that monitors […]
by AFP Staff Writers Bangkok (AFP) Feb 10, 2026 Planned or under-construction solar and wind projects slowed last year, analysis showed Tuesday, casting doubts on whether countries will hit a goal of tripling renewable capacity by decade-end. Dozens of nations agreed in 2023 to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030 as part of efforts to […]
by Robert Schreiber Berlin, Germany (SPX) Feb 18, 2026 Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution processed lead halide perovskites continue to defy expectations as highly efficient solar cell materials, with performance now approaching that of industry standard silicon based devices. A new experimental study from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) […]
