New Photovoltaic Cell Makes Electricity From Thermal Radiation
A new PV module makes electricity from thermal radiation. Imagine that.
Stanford Going To 100% Renewable Electricity (100% Solar) — 1st Major University In USA To…
Universities are suppose to be the homes of our best and brightest. (Don’t look here.) They are supposed to be about the long-term view. They are supposed to be about science, of course. So, I have to admit that I’m surprised and disappointed to find out that no research institute … [continued]
Stanford Research Shows How Tesla Vehicles Can See Through Fog
In a new video by Dr. Know It All on YouTube, he explains that he wanted to know whether or not Tesla cars could see through fog. He cited a Stanford research article that shows just how it can see through the fog. The article, published last year, noted that … [continued]
New Approach To Li-Ion Battery Efficiency At Stanford Puts Out Fires
There’s a new approach that is boosting the efficiency of lithium-ion batteries that also puts out fires — making the batteries fireproof. The new approach, according to scientists at Stanford University and the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, is the reengineering of one of the heaviest components in batteries: sheets of copper or aluminum foil that are used to collect currents.
Bad EPA Decision On Infamous Kid-Toxic Pesticide Expected Soon
EPA has publicly promised that by the end of summer it will issue a new analysis of the risks from the widely used insecticide chlorpyrifos; we expect that reassessment will be published in the next several days.
Lidar-On-A-Chip Holds Promise For Low-Cost Autonomous Driving Systems — New Stanford Research
Researchers at Stanford are working on a “lidar-on-a-chip” system they think can be manufactured for as little as a few hundred dollars.
