Improved polymer additive enhances perovskite solar cells by Simon Mansfield Sydney, Australia (SPX) May 16, 2024 Perovskite solar cells, known for their lightweight and flexible nature, are inexpensive and easy to manufacture. They are seen as a promising technology that can be attached to various surfaces. However, these solar cells currently lack durability […]
Solar power heats materials over 1,000 degrees Celsius by Robert Schreiber Berlin, Germany (SPX) May 16, 2024 Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a method to generate heat exceeding 1,000 degrees Celsius using solar power. This innovation could replace fossil fuels in energy-intensive industries like steel and cement production. The study, published in […]
Lithuanian researchers advance solar cell technology by Robert Schreiber Berlin, Germany (SPX) May 16, 2024 Researchers from Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), Lithuania, who previously developed high-efficiency solar cells, have expanded their invention. The self-assembled monolayers can now be applied in both inverted and regular structure perovskite solar cells. Self-assembling molecules […]
The Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda has successfully spurred more than $860 billion in business investments. In line with this, the White House has officially announced its intent to increase tariffs on Chinese imports. President Biden has emphasized that American workers and businesses can outcompete their global counterparts if they have fair competition. However, […]
Yesterday the Government made a great show of trumpeting it won’t allow solar panels on our “best” farmland, preaching the value of “food security”. It was just that: a show. The reality is that the Government’s definition of good farmland remains Grade 3a and above, so technically little has changed. Instead, the policy has been […]
Eco-friendly battery developed for low-income countries by Sophie Jenkins London, UK (SPX) May 16, 2024 Researchers at Linkoping University, Sweden, have developed a zinc and lignin battery that can be used over 8000 times. This innovation aims to provide an affordable and sustainable battery solution for countries with limited access to electricity. The […]
