Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind are changing the way we power our buildings, industries, and grid; yet, they are intermittent, and we want continuous electricity even whenContinue Reading
Electrification of heavy-duty EVs is integral to decarbonization efforts, but vehicle components must be designed to handle more power while continuing to regulate operating temperatures. A state-of-the-art thermal management systemContinue Reading
The typical wind turbine blade in the field today is made with traditional composite materials, such as fiberglass infused with an epoxy thermoset resin. Because this approach is energy intensive, costly,Continue Reading
The simple fact is that plain old water is the only large scale, long duration energy storage medium available as of today. The challenge is that water batteries — akaContinue Reading
A carbon-based solar cell, does not have a crystalline structure. It is more like a form of plastic. That’s why an organic solar cell is thin, lightweight, and flexible. ThoseContinue Reading
The latest development in the world of Biofuel involves cyanobacteria, aka blue-green algae, an organism that has been around for more than 3.5 billion years and may in fact! surpriseContinue Reading
A six-junction III–V solar cell with a 47.1% conversion efficiency rate under 143 Suns concentration has been developed by researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).Continue Reading
National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is doing the heavy lifting in the solar farm area under a program called InSPIRE, they are trying to answer such questions as “can solarContinue Reading
