Los Angeles CA (SPX) Mar 13, 2023
As countries around the globe seek sustainable energy sources and the U.S. endeavors to become a net-zero emissions economy by 2050, renewable energy sources such as solar panels are in high demand. However, solar panels can take up significant space and are often difficult to scale. Enter the new field of agrivoltaics, which focuses on the simultaneous use of land for both solar power gen

Large-scale perovskite single crystals for laser and photodetector integration

Beijing, China (SPX) Mar 13, 2023
Addressable active layers are highly required in optoelectronic devices to realize functional integration and application. Metal halide perovskites have shown promising applications in optoelectronic devices due to their superior optoelectronic properties and solution-based fabrication process. However, due to the poor chemical stability of perovskite materials in polar solvents, the most



Returning solar panel production to US speeds decarbonization

Ithaca NY (SPX) Mar 13, 2023
Domestic production of solar panels - most of which are now made in Asia - can speed up decarbonization in the U.S., according to new Cornell University research published in Nature Communications. The scientists found that if solar panel manufacturing can return to the U.S. by 2035, the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from panel creation would be reduced by 30% and energy consumption w

Japan mourns 2011 disaster as nuclear support grows

Energy-daily.com 

Tokyo, Japan (AFP) March 11, 2023
Japanese offered tearful prayers Saturday on the anniversary of the deadly tsunami that triggered the Fukushima disaster, but public support for nuclear power is growing as memories of the 2011 meltdown fade. A minute's silence was observed nationwide at 2:46 pm (0546 GMT), the precise moment when a 9.0-magnitude quake - the fourth strongest in Earth's recorded history - devastated northea

UK announces two-decade clean energy plan

Energy-daily.com 

London (AFP) March 10, 2023
Britain on Friday announced a 20-year plan to capture carbon and commit to nuclear energy as it strengthens energy supplies and seeks a net zero economy by mid-century. The project's investment worth 20 billion pounds ($24 billion) will help to create 50,000 jobs, according to a statement. Finance minister Jeremy Hunt was set to outline more details in his budget announcement on Wednesday, it

Diverse approach key to carbon removal

Richland WA (SPX) Mar 13, 2023
Diversification reduces risk. That's the spirit of one key takeaway from a new study led by scientists at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The effective path to limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius by the end of this century likely requires a mix of technologies that can pull carbon dioxide from Earth's atmosphere and oceans. Overreliance on any o

Emissions and contrail study with 100 percent sustainable aviation fuel

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Mar 13, 2023
Sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) significantly reduce the climate impact of aviation in terms of both its carbon footprint and other climate impact not related to carbon dioxide. In the future, the targeted use of SAFs in contrail regions can help to rapidly reduce the climate impact of air transport. Flight tests using aircraft powered by 100 percent SAF are to take place again in order to pre

Pittsburgh PA (SPX) Mar 13, 2023
Carnegie Mellon University engineers have developed a soft material with metal-like conductivity and self-healing properties that is the first to maintain enough electrical adhesion to support digital electronics and motors. This advance, published in Nature Electronics, marks a breakthrough in softbotics and the fields of robotics, electronics, and medicine. At Carnegie Mellon University,

Shape memory for nano-sized objects

Zurich, Switzerland (SPX) Mar 13, 2023
Alloys that can return to their original structure after being deformed have a so-called shape memory. This phenomenon and the resulting forces are used in many mechanical actuating systems, for example in generators or hydraulic pumps. However, it has not been possible to use this shape-memory effect at a small nanoscale: Objects made of shape-memory alloy can only change back to their original

Electrocatalysis under the atomic force microscope

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Mar 10, 2023
To manage the energy transition, it will also be important to rapidly develop cheap and efficient materials that can be used to split water or CO2 by electrocatalysis. In this process, part of the electrical energy is stored in the chemical reaction products. The efficiency of such electrocatalysts depends largely on the nature of the electrode-electrolyte interfaces, i.e. the interfaces b

In the world's smallest ball game, scientists throw and catch single atoms using light

Daejeon, South Korea (SPX) Mar 10, 2023
In many baseball-obsessed countries like Korea, Japan and the United States, with spring months comes the start of the season and quite a few balls flying through the air. But it's not just balls that can be thrown. On the tiniest field imaginable, scientists have now shown they can also throw and catch individual atoms using light. This amazing feat was achieved with optical traps, which

Berlin, Germany (SPX) Mar 13, 2023
Is there life on other planetary bodies? Jupiter's moon Europa could provide an answer to this question: it is believed to harbour an ocean of water beneath its icy surface. But how might an exploration mission to the Jovian satellite be conducted without contaminating the landing site? To find out, researchers at the German Aerospace Center in Gottingen have carried out investigations in a uniq

Galileo: no way without time

Paris (ESA) Mar 13, 2023
Europe's Galileo is the world's most precise satellite navigation system, providing metre-level accuracy and very precise timing to its four billion users. An essential ingredient to ensure this stays the case are the atomic clocks aboard each satellite, delivering pinpoint timekeeping that is maintained to a few billionths of a second. These clocks are called atomic because their 'ticks' come f
