Even though university is closed for the summer in Australia and students are dividing their time between catching some rays to patch their tans and working to pay their fees, there is plenty of good news. Scientists and researchers are holding true to their calling and looking for solutions to … [continued]
Sydney’s University of New South Wales Sunswift 7 solar-powered electric car has claimed a provisional Guinness World Record by going 1000 km (620 miles) on a single charge in under 12 hours. The car, designed and built by students, posted a time of 11 hours 53.32 minutes for the distance … [continued]
While the students from the University of New South Wales wait for the ratification of their recent Guinness World Record attempt for the fastest solar electric car over a distance of 1000 km (620 miles), let’s have a look at the background. The Sunswift 7 car was the culmination of … [continued]
UNSW researchers have solved the mystery of why and how ocean ‘hotspots’ are forming so fast, by examining the winds that influence the ocean currents heating these areas.
The shape of the longest railroad bridge in South Korea has inspired University of New South Wales engineers to design a new high-speed motor. The prototype interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM) has achieved speeds of 100,000 RPM, making it the world’s fastest interior permanent magnet synchronous motor. IPMSM motors … [continued]
With a Sandwich of 80 Ultrathin Quantum Well Layers, New Solar Cell Unlocks World Record and a Path to Further Improvements
Researchers in Australia have encapsulated perovskite solar cells in a glass and rubber cocoon to protect them from heat and moisture.
The University of New South Wales in Australia has signed a world-first agreement with Maoneng Australia and Origin Energy to secure 100% of its electricity from solar PV, becoming the world’s first university to go fully carbon neutral with its energy sources.
The market for solar power in Australia is about to explode, according to multiple sources, driven in large part by the high cost of electricity in the country and the ever declining cost of solar power.
There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch, but a new hydrogen-boron solution for “clean” nuclear fusion energy could come pretty close.
