World Cautioned to Prepare for Today’s Severe Geomagnetic Storm, First in 20 Years.
A historically large sunspot has unleashed a slew of super-powerful solar storms aimed right at our planet. Experts anticipate that when they strike this weekend, they will shock our magnetic shield and cause broad auroras across North America. A geomagnetic storm happens when the sun experiences solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), creating variations…
Big batteries are transforming the way the US uses electricity
California generates more electricity from the sun than any other state. It also has a scheduling issue: solar power is abundant during the day but disappears in the evening, precisely as people return home from work and electricity demand rises. To fill the deficit, power companies often burn more fossil fuels, such as natural gas….
Energy transition needs more batteries and more batteries
The amount of money the industrialised world has poured into the so-called energy transition away from fossil fuels and towards non-emitting sources, such as nuclear power and renewable energy, is nearly impossible to determine, with a strong political focus on the former. It is most likely the largest wager in human history. Even though the…
Japanese trading house Mitsui invests $200m to build Texas solar farm
The Japanese trading corporation Mitsui & Co. announced on Thursday that it will invest roughly 30 billion yen ($193 million) over the course of two years to construct a solar farm in the U.S. state of Texas. The company hopes to capitalise on the growing demand for renewable energy in a state where wind power…
Breakthrough in Flexible Solar Cells: Efficiency Reaches New Heights Using New Fabrication Technique
Flexible solar cells composed of perovskite, a class of materials with a particular crystalline structure that promotes the conversion of solar energy into electricity, now have a higher power efficiency thanks to a new production technique. Because of the flexible base material’s soft and uneven properties—made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET)—the perovskite films of current flexible…
Solar Panels Get a Boost: Scientists Create Self-Healing Solar Panels
In a ground-breaking invention, the scientists have created next-generation solar panels capable of thriving themselves when damaged in space. The “miracle material,” perovskite, is used in this ground-breaking technique. Perovskite has been used in the past to greatly boost the efficiency of conventional silicon solar cells. A group at the University of Sydney in Australia…
