Imagine solar cells so thin, flexible, and lightweight that they could be placed on almost any material or surface, including your hat, shirt, or smartphone, or even on a sheet of paper or a helium balloon. Researchers have now demonstrated just such a technology: the thinnest, lightest solar cells ever…

Computer scientists and electrical engineers have generated Wi-Fi transmissions using 10,000 times less power than conventional methods. With ‘Passive Wi-Fi,’ signals can be transmitted at rates up to 11 megabits per second — rates that are lower than maximum Wi-Fi speeds but are 11 times faster than Bluetooth — and…
By Robin Sayles Précis: Site activities are underway for the Duba 1 Integrated Solar Combined Cycle (ISCC) station which will host the largest integrated CSP capacity in the Arabian Gulf region. The 605 MW power plant will include a 43 MW parabolic trough array, around double the largest solar capacity…
