2+ hour, 3+ min ago Scientists in Singapore have made an important breakthrough that could help bring a new generation of ultra-efficient solar panels into everyday use. Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a new vapor-deposition technique that greatly improves the…...

2+ day, 13+ hour ago As the world moves toward cleaner energy and electric technologies, better batteries are becoming more important than ever. Batteries power everything from phones and laptops to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. Today, lithium-ion batteries dominate the market, but…...

1+ week, 3+ day ago Scientists have long believed that perovskite solar cells could transform the solar industry because they are light, inexpensive and highly efficient. However, one major weakness has held them back: they rely on indium tin oxide, or ITO, a fragile and…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago Scientists have developed a new manufacturing method that could dramatically improve the strength, durability, and performance of battery electrodes'especially those used in electric vehicles and large energy storage systems. The innovation, created by researchers from the Korea Institute of Energy…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago The color that makes blue jeans iconic might also help power tomorrow's electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Researchers at Concordia University have discovered that indigo'the same natural dye used in denim for hundreds of years'could play an important role…...

1+ week, 5+ day ago Perovskite solar cells are often described as the future of solar technology because they can be made cheaply, are lightweight, and have shown impressive efficiency gains. But despite more than a decade of rapid development, they still face a major…...

2+ week, 3+ day ago Lithium-metal batteries are often described as the "next big thing" for electric vehicles and energy storage. They can hold much more energy than today's lithium-ion batteries'enough to boost an electric car's driving range from about 400 kilometers to nearly 700 kilometers per…...

2+ week, 6+ day ago Scientists have achieved something that almost never happens in solar research: they captured high-resolution images of an active region on the sun at the exact moment it produced two extremely powerful X-class solar flares. Using the GREGOR solar telescope in…...

3+ week, 1+ day ago Solid-state batteries are widely seen as the future of energy storage. Because solid-state batteries use solid electrolytes instead, they cannot leak or catch fire easily, making them ideal for electric vehicles and large-scale energy storage. However, these next-generation batteries still…...

3+ week, 2+ day ago What if the waste from mining could help build stronger, greener buildings? Researchers at Flinders University are proving that this isn't just possible " it could play a major role in the future of construction. Dr. Aliakbar Gholampour from Flinders University's…...
