A new cleaning method could remove dust on solar installations in water-limited regions, improving overall efficiency.
Alex van de Steeg mapped CO2 plasmas to figure out the reactions at play when CO2 splits into other molecules at temperatures hotter than the surface of the sun.
Distributed generation has the potential to take electricity to the most remote locations of the planet. By establishing an off-grid windmill and a battery management system, it becomes possible to collect and utilise electrical power sustainability as and when required.
The performance and lifetime of lithium-ion batteries can be improved thanks to the addition of an ultrathin protective layer on the electrodes a few atom layers thick.
