The idea of sending solar energy down to Earth from satellites seemed like a promising system when it first appeared 15 years ago, but the science behind space solar is sound, and a team of Caltech researchers is ready. that they should prove it. Earlier this week they started a test flight in space and […]
Photo: istockphoto.com The dawn of the electric car revolution is here, and enthusiastic drivers anticipate being able to shed their dependence on costly and unpredictable gas prices. The chance to run cars on electricity, powered by home solar panels in some cases, almost seems too good to be true. So what’s the catch? While electric […]
The Ministry of Energy of Bulgaria earmarked EUR 30.5 million in grants for replacing inefficient heating devices in households with rooftop photovoltaic panels and solar collectors. Bulgaria is preparing public calls for households to improve their heating with rooftop solar systems, where 83% of the grants worth a total of EUR 30.5 million in the […]
UPDATE: The Transporter-6 mission successfully launched at 6:55 a.m. PT on January 3. In January 2023, the Caltech Space Solar Power Project (SSPP) plans to launch a prototype, dubbed the Space Solar Power Demonstrator (SSPD), which will test several key components of a large-scale solar-harvesting program. sun in the sky and wood. energy back to […]
While you may be just starting to reap the advantages of 5G wireless technology, researchers throughout the world are already working hard on the future: 6G. One of the most promising breakthroughs in 6G telecommunications is the possibility of Visible Light Communication (VLC), which is like a wireless version of fiberoptics, using flashes of […]
A device that can harvest water from the air and provide hydrogen fuel-entirely powered by solar energy-has been a dream for researchers for decades. Now, EPFL chemical engineer Kevin Sivula and his team have made a significant step towards bringing this vision closer to reality. They have developed an ingenious yet simple […]
