By Philippe ALFROY Mundra, India (AFP) Jan 25, 2026 The race for green energy is on. India, driven by soaring electricity demand and a push to reduce reliance on China, is rapidly producing solar panels, fuelling a booming yet uncertain market. At the Adani Group’s factory in Mundra, in India’s western state of […]
by Riko Seibo Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Jan 21, 2026 Osaka Metropolitan University scientists have developed a single organic molecule that naturally forms the internal p/n junctions needed for converting sunlight into electricity, offering a potential shortcut to more efficient organic thin film solar cells. The study shows how careful molecular design and self […]
by Riko Seibo Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Jan 21, 2026 A new scientific review describes how a little understood class of lithium ion battery cathode materials could support safer, higher energy storage while easing dependence on critical metals such as cobalt and nickel. Researchers synthesized and analyzed recent global advances in cation […]
by Riko Seibo Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Jan 19, 2026 The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) has reported a materials breakthrough that moves oxide based all solid state batteries closer to commercial deployment. The work targets the high cost and fabrication challenges of garnet type solid electrolytes, a key component in […]
by Clarence Oxford Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 19, 2026 Surveys at one of the largest solar energy facilities in the Mojave Desert indicate that a rare annual plant is not only persisting but flourishing under a construction approach designed to preserve desert soils and seedbanks. Researchers monitoring the Gemini Solar Project northeast […]
by Riko Seibo Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Jan 19, 2026 A new study shows that perfectly symmetric materials can generate strong photocurrents when their surfaces are engineered to host special electronic states, overturning a long held limitation in photovoltaic design. The work points to fresh strategies for both solar energy conversion and ultrafast spintronic […]
