Initially attached to a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket, about an hour after blastoff, …

The basic pitch for ‘net zero’ policies to combat climate change is this: a warming world will be devastating, but we can cut emissions down to next-to-nothing by using renewable energy technologies like wind and solar, which will keep on getting cheaper and cheaper. But the idea that we can …

The lawsuit, which was filed in California this week, is led by Matthew Amans, an associate professor of clinical radiology at the University of California San Francisco. Amans had ordered the company’s Solar Roof for his home in June 2020, according to his suit. He agreed to pay $71,662.06, but …

Italian Glass startup to Power has developed a luminescent solar concentrator (LSC) that can be integrated into Windows, as well as a number of other active architectural elements. The company says it has reached conversion efficiency of 3.2% when the degree of transparency of the visible spectrum of about 80%. …

Researchers from the University of new Mexico are sure that the depths of our satellite conceal the evidence of an ancient collision that drastically affected the course of development of our planet and could even be the cause of the origin of life. About 4.5 billion years ago something the …

This morning at 7:03 MSK by the carrier rocket “Atlas 5” from the Space center. Kennedy in Florida was launched, a European research spacecraft Solar Orbiter, designed to study the Sun. At 7:55 he has successfully separated from the upper stage “Centaurus” and a few minutes later made contact with …

Researchers at the Ohio state University first synthesized a molecule that can efficiently absorb sunlight and act as a catalyst for the conversion of solar energy into hydrogen is an environmentally friendly fuel that is a viable alternative to fossil energy sources. Molecule absorbs energy from the entire visible spectrum …

As once said by the famous theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, we live on an unremarkable planet orbiting an unremarkable star. However, we have a chance to know the Universe. This busy NASA engineers. Remember the Parker apparatus Solar Probe, which goes straight to the Sun? At the moment the probe …

Researchers from the European southern Observatory have confirmed the existence of the smallest planet of the Solar system — Hygeia, which is located in the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars. A dwarf planet is the fourth-largest in the main asteroid belt after Ceres, Vesta and Pallas. Despite its tiny …

Experts from energy consulting company Wood Mackenzie assessed the prospects of the two most important balance energies. Unfortunately, the cheaper does not mean that the provision of solar energy will improve. New power plant running on natural gas, can compete with solar in a number of major markets — China, …
