The energy transition requires not only the development of new technologies, but also their reliable and economical operation. For many years, the Institute of Solar Research has been developing ...

The fragility and laws of quantum physics generally make the characterisation of quantum systems time-consuming. Furthermore, when a quantum system is measured, it is destroyed in the process. A ...

Thin films are two-dimensional (2D) material layers deposited on a bulk substrate, possessing a thickness of a few nanometers to impart properties that cannot be realized by base materials. The unique ...

Canadian scientists have developed a new way to measure the energy yield of bifacial PV systems. They said they considered the spectral albedo of ground cover like snow and sand to predict energy ...

Sec.210.8(B)(7),(B)(13), and (B)(15) in the 2023 edition] it is pretty clear on how we should be measuring the 6 ft distance when it comes to receptacle placement and whether GFCI protection would be ...

Lasers that transmit data on optical fibers do not produce monochromatic light. Instead, they provide a narrow spectrum that includes many wavelengths. The physical characteristics of optical fibers ...

Astronomers have found a clever new way to slice and dice the flickering light from a distant star in a way that reveals the strength of gravity at its surface. That is important because a star’s ...
