Wearable devices have garnered attention for their potential as sensors that could monitor various biomarkers, a means of drug delivery, medical devices and more. In order for these wearable devices to be functional and practical, they need to have batteries that are stretchable and highly deformable. While there has been research on […]
As part of the University’s climate commitment, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) is investing S$5.7 million to ramp up solar energy production. This initiative will see over 13,000 new solar photovoltaic (PV) panels installed on the NTU Smart Campus, in addition to the University’s existing 19,000 solar panels installed in 2015. These […]
Britishvolt, a UK firm developing a £3.8 billion factory to build batteries for electric vehicles, was on Monday on the brink of collapse, reports said. The troubled battery start-up, championed by former prime minister Boris Johnson as part of his drive for a greener economy, has been developing the gigafactory in Blyth, northeastern England. But […]
Victoria is accelerating its $10.9 million neighbourhood batteries program in an aim to maximise the broad uptake of rooftop solar to store cheap, clean renewable energy at a local level and deliver it back to the communities that supply it. As part of the second round of the state’s Neighbourhood Battery Initiative (NBI), the government says it […]
When proposals for the largest solar power plant ever made for US soil began to gather pace – a plan involving several million solar panels on a flat farmland in northern Indiana – something at Connie Ehrlich seemed to have failed. Ehrlich, 63, is part of a longtime farming family in the Pulaski area, the […]
Rooftop solar has taken another significant bite out of electricity demand, and the customer volumes of leading utility Origin Energy, as the pace of change in Australia’s main grid continues to accelerate. Rooftop solar on Friday trumped all fossil fuels, contributing to 34 per cent of total generation in the middle of the day – […]
