Canadian researchers have done the math on optimizing PV output
Mathematicians at Canada’s University of Waterloo who turned their attention to solar power have developed an algorithm they say offers better control over PV plant output. The researchers estimate the algorithm could improve the output of a 100 MW power plant by almost a million kilowatt-hours per year.

Progress toward greener redox-organic electrode batteries
Our modern-day rechargeable batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries, are anything however sustainable. One alternative is organic batteries with redox-organic electrode materials (OEMs), which can be synthesized from natural "green" materials. In the journal Angewandte Chemie, a Chinese team has actually currently presented a new OEM for aqueous organic high-capacity batteries that can be quickly and cheaply recycled.
