Negatively charged electrons are extracted from atoms, with atoms left as positive ions. The potential difference between the two causes the electrons to be attracted back, producing a flow of electric current: electricity. How is hydroelectricity produced step by step? Hydropower plants hold hydropower falling into electricity generation. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of […]
President Joe Biden on Monday will suspend tariffs for two years on solar panel imports from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam — but not China — as the US seeks to boost domestic clean energy manufacturing, the White House said. Biden’s administration will also invoke the Defense Production Act (DPA) to accelerate domestic production, and […]
Lightweight as a window cling and replicable as a newspaper, organic solar cells are emerging as a viable solution for the nation’s growing energy demand. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are the first to observe a biological property called chirality emerging in achiral conjugated polymers, which are used to design […]
The White House announced Monday that Biden will facilitate a 24-month “bridge” for certain solar imports, allowing developers to pick up solar modules and cells from the four countries – Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam – which together account for around 80 percent of panel imports to the United States Biden will also give the […]

Can you store solar energy for months? Researchers studying a crystalline material have discovered that it has properties that allow it to absorb energy from the sun. The energy can be stored for several months at room temperature, and it can be released on demand in the form of heat. Can solar energy be stored […]
