Chemists have synthesized a stable and long-lasting carbon-based molecule that, they say, potentially could be applicable in solar cells and electronic devices. Read more here:: http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/matter_energy/solar_energy/~3/nCUjcdj2Pz0/160609174758.htm
Researchers are pushing the limits of perovskite solar cell performance by exploring the best way to grow these crystals. Read more here:: http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/matter_energy/solar_energy/~3/6kgWAMfR_oc/160609151207.htm
In the search for low-emission plant-based fuels, new research could lead to sustainable alternatives to fossil fuel-based products. Scientists have identified new steps in the way plants produce cellulose, the component of plant cell walls that provides strength, and forms insoluble fiber in the human diet.

Researchers have discovered a novel way to significantly increase the amount of sunlight that a solar absorber can convert into heat. By converting more of the solar energy that reaches Earth’s surface into heat in a low-cost way, the solar absorber can help make sustainable technologies that rely on solar…
Scientists have engineered ‘topological plexcitons,’ energy-carrying particles that could help make possible the design of new kinds of solar cells and miniaturized optical circuitry.

Scientists have developed an extremely efficient small-size energy storage, a micro-supercapacitor, which can be integrated directly inside a silicon microcircuit chip. Read more here:: http://feeds.sciencedaily.com/~r/sciencedaily/matter_energy/fuel_cells/~3/3ndvjkXCzM8/160608103953.htm
By sdyhin 08 June 2016 A monumental off-grid renewable mining project has been successfully completed in remote Western Australia, demonstrating a confluence between established and emerging Australian industries. More than 34,000 solar photovoltaic (PV) panels have been installed at the DeGrussa copper-gold mine alongside 6 MW (1.8 MWh) of new…
