However, it appears odd that reporters would highlight offshore wind farms as a vulnerability. At the recent launch of consultation about the 8 GW offshore wind farms planned for the Newcastle (NSW, Australia) […]

In Ultrathin Layers, NREL Researchers Find A Path To Better Materials

Unexpected Crystalline Structure Explains Mechanism of Long-Used Solar Cell Treatment and Hints That Further Materials Discoveries Await For more than three decades, photovoltaic researchers have known that the addition of a single chemical — cadmium chloride — creates better-performing cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar cells. But they have not understood exactly why — until now. The […]
