About 750 million people in the world do not have access to electricity at night. Solar cells provide power during the day, but saving energy for later use requires substantial battery storage. In Applied Physics Letters, by AIP Publishing, researchers from Stanford University constructed a photovoltaic cell that harvests energy from the […]
When popular Indian singer Chinmayi Sripaada shared a photo of freshly cleaned rooftop solar panels at her in-laws’ Chennai home on social media, she spotlighted how her family is tapping into clean power as energy demand rises amid more extreme heat. In response, some of her one million Twitter followers wrote back, asking about the […]
A think-tank analysis suggests that if solar energy continues to grow, along with wind, then the global power sector will meet its carbon reduction targets to control global temperatures. According to an analysis by Ember, an independent think tank, if wind and solar maintain a compound growth rate of 20% over the next ten years, […]
Renewables developer Tetris Energy has made a move into Australia’s burgeoning e-mobility sector, with the announcement of a new partnership with Finnish smart electric vehicle charging heavyweight Virta.

Scientists in Japan have found a common substance that can reversibly and rapidly store and release relatively large amounts of low-grade heat without decomposing. The research could lead to more efficient reuse of industrial waste heat. The results were published in the journal Nature Communications and were a collaboration between scientists at […]
