Nuclear power is a significant source of steady carbon-neutral electricity, and advanced reactors can add more of it to the U.S. grid, which is vital for the environment and economy. https://techxplore.com/news/2023-03-scientists-advanced-nuclear-reactor-analysis.html Engineering Tue, 14 Mar 2023 15:28:05 EDT news598026482 A study led by KU Leuven for the first time explains how a promising type of perovskites—man-made crystals that can convert sunlight into electricity—can be stabilized. As a result, the crystals turn black, enabling them to absorb sunlight. This is necessary to be able to use them in new solar panels that are easy to make and highly efficient. The study was published in Science. https://techxplore.com/news/2019-07-yellow-black-discovery-paves-solar.html Energy & Green Tech Fri, 26 Jul 2019 11:30:02 EDT news483359393 EPFL scientists achieve the highest yet reproducibility for perovskite solar cells combined with a boundary-pushing 21.1% efficiency at normal operating conditions. https://techxplore.com/news/2016-03-perovskite-solar-cells-percent-efficiency.html Energy & Green Tech Thu, 17 Mar 2016 08:30:03 EDT news377421199
