Renewable gas from carbon dioxide with the aid of solar power
Scientists at Linköping University, Sweden, are trying to transform carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, to sustain using power from sunlight. Current results have actually shown that it is possible to utilize their method to uniquely create methane, carbon monoxide gas or formic acid from carbon dioxide and water. The study has been released in ACS Nano.

Engineer discovers mighty power in small solar energy invention
Today's commonly used silicon solar cells are heavy and bulky, and take up a lot of space to produce power. Newer models, made from soft materials that are flexible and versatile, are cheaper to produce but also much less efficient than their pricier counterparts.

Scientists find development for solar-powered vehicles
In October 2020, the University of York in the UK, collaborating with NOVA University Lisbon, increased the capability of solar panels to take in light by a spectacular 125% by 3D geometry like a square block maze. This enhances the diffraction price indicating probability of light being soaked up. They guarantee lighter, thinner, less expensive, more flexible solar panels.
