A Washington State University team has developed a more efficient, safer, and cost-effective way to produce cadmium telluride (CdTe) material for solar cells or other applications, a discovery that could advance the solar industry and make it more competitive.

Costs of solar panels have plummeted over the last several years, leading to rates of solar installations far greater than most analysts had expected.

Electronics are showing up everywhere: on our laps, in pockets and purses and, increasingly, snuggled up against our skin or sewed into our clothing.

We all know the rechargeable and efficient lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries from our smartphones, laptops and also electric cars.

Researchers from UCLA Samueli School of Engineering, Rice University and UC Santa Barbara have developed an easier and greener way to create syngas.

Toward the end of 2017, a massive new region of magnetic field erupted on the Sun’s surface next to an existing sunspot. 

Over a billion people worldwide live without electricity.

A study led by the University of Southampton has mapped several sites in Europe containing gas hydrate – a relatively clean fuel which could help bridge the gap between fossil fuels and renewables.

The system, tested on an industrial scale, prevents foul odours and reduces by up to two months the treatment time for the organic matter deriving from the excess sludge, for its subsequent agricultural use.
