If you want to get the most out of the sun, you have to improve the performance of the materials used.
Boeing subsidiary Spectrolab recently set a new world record by producing a solar cell that converted 38.8 percent of solar energy into electricity, more than any other ground-based solar cell not using concentrated sunlight. The U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colo., verified the new record, which beats Spectrolab’s own previous world record by 1 percent.
Still celebrating the good success of their ongoing Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for their iQi Mobile Wireless Charger For iPhone, Fonesalesman will has launch its Note 3 Wireless Charging System as well.
Advanced computer codes are helping scientists reimagine how they might initiate a fusion reaction in the center of a tokamak, a doughnut-shaped experimental vessel. These simulations are also shedding new light on complex phenomena in magnetic fields.
American innovators still have some cards to play when it comes to squeezing more efficiency and lower costs out of silicon, the workhorse of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules worldwide.
Michael Zelinsky, Market and Business Development Manager, BASF Battery Materials, will discuss the latest improvements in Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery technology for grid energy storage applications at the 8th International Renewable Energy Storage Conference and Exhibition (IRES 2013), being held November 18-20, 2013, at the Berlin Congress Center in Berlin, Germany.
Microvehicles and other devices that can change shape or move with no power source other than a beam of light may be possible through research led by the University of Pittsburgh. The researchers are investigating polymers that "snap" when triggered by light, thereby converting light energy into mechanical work and potentially eliminating the need for traditional machine components such as switches and power sources.
Solid-state lighting based on light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is the most efficient source of high color quality white light.
Battelle engineers and scientists have developed a mobile device that transforms unwanted biomass materials such as wood chips or agricultural waste into valuable bio-oil using catalytic pyrolysis. As currently configured, the Battelle-funded unit converts one ton of pine chips, shavings and sawdust into as much as 1,300 gallons of wet bio-oil per day.
Condition monitoring specialists Sensonics are continuing to fly the flag for UK engineering following continued success in securing significant export contracts. In fact, Sensonics are the only British instrumentation manufacturing company involved in the US$30 billion project, the first nuclear power station to be built in the United Arab Emirates.
