Researchers have developed a new type of solar power system that can produce both electricity and heat at the same time—an innovation that could help industries capture carbon dioxide (CO₂) from their ...
Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it ...
(CNN) — From a distance, the Ivanpah solar plant looks like a shimmering lake in the Mojave Desert. Up close, it’s a vast alien-like installation of hundreds of thousand of mirrors pointed at three ...
An ambitious proposal by US startup Reflect Orbital has astronomers and environmentalists deeply concerned. The California-based company plans to deploy a massive constellation of satellites designed ...
In mountain regions where winter conditions dominate, engineers are rethinking energy capture using cold, icy landscapes to their advantage. This isn’t ...
A new research paper in the Acta Astronautica journal describes a constellation of mirror satellites to increase the power at the large solar farms on Earth. Among all cases, the paper found SSO (sun ...
