Onion-skin Dye May Find Use In Greener UV-Protected Solar Cells

Environmental Science /

Solar cells frequently encounter high levels of harmful ultraviolet light because they capture the maximum possible sunlight.A new eco-friendly coating could protect them from these UV rays, using its active ingredient extracted from onion skin. Currently, manufacturers apply clear films made from petroleum-based materials to the surface of solar cells for UV protection.However, the extraction […]

Quantum “Tornadoes” in Semimetal Could Revolutionize Electronics

Physics /

Physicists in Germany have demonstrated that electron inertia can create “tornadoes” inside a quantum semimetal, revealing a new layer of complexity in electron motion. Electrons rarely stay still, and their movements can take unexpected forms. In tantalum arsenide, a quantum material, researchers found that electrons form vortices—not in physical space, but in momentum space, a

From robots to humans, good decisions require diverse perspectives.

Robotics /

When groups make decisions—whether humans, robots, or animals—not all members contribute equally. Some have more reliable information, while others hold greater social influence. A new study from the Cluster of Excellence Science of Intelligence highlights how uncertainty and diversity shape collective decision-making. Published in Scientific Reports, the research by Vito Mengers, Mohsen Raoufi, Oliver Brock,

Google’s First Satellite For Detecting Wildfires Now In Orbit

Earth Science, Environmental Science /

The first satellite in a new constellation designed to detect wildfires early and with high precision has successfully reached Earth’s orbit. This breakthrough could revolutionize how we respond to uncontrolled fires. Named FireSat, this satellite constellation is part of a project aimed at providing real-time detection and tracking of wildfires anywhere on the planet. When

Tiny electrical discharges between water droplets may have ignited the spark of life on Earth.

Biology /

Dr. Frankenstein may not have needed a lightning bolt to spark life after all. A new Stanford study suggests that constant “microlightning” between water droplets could have provided the jolt that jumpstarted life on Earth. One of the biggest mysteries in evolution is how life emerged from non-living matter. Scientists believe early Earth contained a

Coreshell Aims to Significantly Reduce the Cost of U.S. Made Batteries

Climatology, Earth Science /

The shift to electric vehicles is largely a story centered on China. Government subsidies there have not only fueled automakers but also strengthened the entire battery supply chain. Decades of industrial policies controlling critical mineral resources have given China a dominant position, leaving American and European automakers struggling to compete. Graphite is a prime example.

Palmetto Enables Developers to Advance U.S. Electrification with AI-Driven Building Models

Climatology, Earth Science /

For homeowners considering solar panels, the key question is often “How many?” For heat pumps, it’s “What size?” Traditionally, answering these required an on-site visit from a contractor. Over the past decade, solar installers have streamlined this process, with some, like Tesla, eliminating it entirely through software that integrates various data sources to determine a

SpaceX Launches Astronauts for a Long-Awaited ISS Crew Swap

Astronomy, Astrophysics /

SpaceX successfully launched four astronauts on Friday, kicking off the Crew-10 mission to the International Space Station (ISS). Their arrival will provide enough personnel to allow Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore to return to Earth after a nine-month stay. The Dragon spacecraft is set to dock with the ISS late Saturday, with the new crew
