Electron sandwich doubles thermoelectric performance

Researchers from Hokkaido University and their colleagues in Japan and Taiwan have improved the ability to transform wasted heat into usable electricity by…

Perovskite-silicon solar cell research collaboration hits 25.2% efficiency

“Perovskite-based tandem solar cells can use light particularly efficiently and therefore offer the opportunity to achieve even higher efficiencies. That is…

Second heat source optimises heat pump system

Exhaust air supplies heat at a comparatively high temperature level and leads to favourable system costs. The scientists tested the interaction of the heat…

Checking power plant components in a more targeted manner

This enables operators and monitoring institutions to calculate the stability of components in terms of their damage more accurately and without compromising…

Hybrid overhead lines: More power, not more power lines

Unlike conventional power lines, hybrid overhead lines combine alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) systems on the same tower instead of two AC…
