Newly Discovered Semiconductor Dynamics May Help Improve Energy Efficiency Updated On Fri, Nov 24th, 2017 by Saurenergy Researchers examining the flow of electricity through semiconductors have uncovered another reason these materials seem to lose their ability to carry a charge as they become more densely “doped.” Their results, which may help engineers design faster semiconductors in the future, are published online in the journal ACS Nano. Semiconductors are found in just about […] Read more
Air-breathing Battery Could Cut Costs of Renewable Energy Storage Updated On Fri, Nov 24th, 2017 by Saurenergy Solar power and wind are increasingly popular sources for renewable energy. But intermittency issues keep them from connecting widely to the U.S. grid: They require energy-storage systems that, at the cheapest, run about $100 per kilowatt hour and function only in certain locations. Now MIT researchers have developed an “air-breathing” battery that could store electricity […] Read more
Solar Power a Clear Leader, IEA Report Finds Updated On Fri, Nov 17th, 2017 by Saurenergy For the first time ever, there were more grid additions from solar power than another other type of fuel, the International Energy Agency said. IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said that, by 2022, renewables in general will equal about half the global capacity for coal power and its solar energy in particular that’s leading the […] Read more
