By utilizing a new method, rare-earth elements can be successfully recouped from thin-film solar cells. This is revealed by new research study from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. The method is additionally extra environmentally friendly than previous methods of recycling and also leads the way for more versatile and extremely effective solar cells.

A group of scientists have developed a way to save solar energy in a liquid kind that will can creating electricity on-demand, along with store the energy for a whopping 18 years.

Imagine a whole 20-storey concrete building that can save energy like a gigantic battery. Thanks to one-of-a-kind research study from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, this vision can sooner or later be a truth. Researchers from the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering lately published a short article laying out a brand-new idea for rechargeable batteries made from concrete.

Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology have actually created a structural battery that carries out ten times better than all previous variations. It includes carbon fiber that offers at the same time as an electrode, conductor, and also load-bearing product. Their most recent research study innovation leads the way for basically 'massless' energy storage in lorries and also various other technology.

An EU project led by Chalmers will create prototypes of new solar technology for big scale applications, such as furnace in residential homes.
