Solar energy could one day power unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)
Scientists are building on the proven concept of autonomous cooperative soaring of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), enabling long endurance flights.
Solar power can cover up to 40% of the electricity needs of a typical Belgian home
Electricity production from solar panels is a recurrent subject in Belgium, especially when it comes down to costs and efficiency.
Next-generation solar cells could be improved by atomic-scale redesign
Researchers have uncovered the exact mechanism that causes new solar cells to break down in air, paving the way for a solution.
We could be on the verge of finding the ‘holey’ grail of batteries
American Association for the Advancement of Science study details extraordinary promise for electrochemical energy storage.
New technology generates power from polluted air
Researchers have developed a process that purifies air, at the same time, generates power. The device must only be exposed to light in order to function.
Installing solar to combat national security risks in the power grid
Power production from multiple sources increases the difficulty of triggering cascading blackouts, and following an attack or natural disaster, microgrids can provide localized energy security.
What happens to EV batteries, when electric vehicles crash?
How EV batteries behave in detail during crash loads and what influence the previous life of the battery has on its safety is being investigated by TU Graz and partners in the K-project “SafeBattery”.
