The energy from sunlight falling on only 9 percent of California's Mojave Desert could power all of the United States' electricity needs if the energy could be efficiently harvested, according to some estimates. Unfortunately, current-generation solar cell technologies are too expensive and inefficient for wide-scale commercial applications.
WorldWater & Solar Technologies Corp., developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems, today shipped 12 of its Mobile MaxPure solar water and power-supply units for immediate air delivery to Baghdad.
Arizona Public Service Co. (APS) today announced plans for one of the world's largest solar facilities - a 280-megawatt (MW) concentrating solar power (CSP) plant to be built 70 miles southwest of Phoenix, near Gila Bend, Ariz.
Venus Express has revealed a planet of extraordinarily changeable and extremely large-scale weather. Bright hazes appear in a matter of days, reaching from the south pole to the low southern latitudes and disappearing just as quickly. Such 'global weather', unlike anything on Earth, has given scientists a new mystery to solve.
Today (21 February 2008) the Science and Technology Facility Council's UK Astronomy Technology Centre (UK ATC) at the Royal Observatory Edinburgh shipped its biggest and most complex ever instrument.
The electrons in nanoparticles of noble metal oscillate together apace with the frequency of the light. This phenomenon can be exploited to produce better and cheaper solar cells, scientists at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have shown.
Kensey Nash Corporation today announced that it has received 510(k) clearance for an important vessel wall detection technology from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, designed to enhance the guidance provided by the Safe-Cross(R) RF CTO System.
Despite increasing popular support for solar photovoltaic panels in the United States, their costs far outweigh the benefits, according to a new analysis by Severin Borenstein, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley's Haas School of Business and director of the UC Energy Institute.
Honeywell today announced that Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Ore. has awarded the company a solar project that is expected to save the school at least $200,000 in energy costs over the next 20 years.
As climate change rises on the international agenda, the solar energy industry continues to grow at a very fast pace. However, over the last few years the solar photovoltaic market has been facing one of its biggest challenges.
