Solar power,along with wind,wave,and geothermal energy sources,is seeing accelerating interest in renewable energy research.Once installed,solar panels produce zero emissions as they convert sunlight directly into energy via the photovoltaic effect,bypassing the turbine system found in every other commercial energy source. The Photovoltaic Effect Light is converted into electricity by the photovoltaic effect.When light is incident …

China is moving full steam ahead on 5G, barely slowed down by a pandemic that has ravaged the world. This is setting up a race between the nation and the US, which led the way with 4G cellular technology and wants to keep its pole position in this next generation.  5G is the next generation …

1.Major Functions Machining centers are widely used in manufacturing sites.Machining centers are critical equipment for machining metal parts and components in addition to their primary purpose of die manufacture.As an example,machining centers in the automobile industry are used for efficient grinding and drilling of engine parts as well as for making dies for body components.Many …

(CNN)China has become only the third country in the world to successfully collect rocks from the moon. In the early hours of Thursday morning Beijing time, the country’s unmanned Chang’e-5 mission returned to Earth carrying the country’s first moon samples, according to Chinese state media outlet Xinhua.The samples were retrieved from a previously unvisited area of the moon, and are …

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have found that graphene-based heat pipes can help solve the problems of cooling electronics and power systems used in avionics, data centres, and other power electronics. “Heat pipes are one of the most efficient tools for this because of their high efficiency and unique ability to transfer heat …

Industry consumes large quantities of crude oil as raw material for the production of drugs, cosmetics, plastics and food, and the conventional catalytic processes that transform the oil into these substances consume a lot of energy and create waste. Biological processes with enzymes would be far more sustainable, as they can catalyze various chemical reactions …

Artificial intelligence (AI) solutions are facing increased scrutiny due to their aptitude for amplifying both good and bad decisions.More specifically,for their propensity to expose and heighten existing societal biases and inequalities.It is only right,then,that discussions of ethics are taking center stage as AI adoption increases. In lockstep with ethics comes the topic of trust.Ethics are …

Thermoelectric materials can turn a temperature difference into electricity.Organic thermoelectric materials could thus be used to power wearable electronics or sensors,but their power output is still very low. A thermoelectric generator is the only human-made power source outside our solar system.Both Voyager space probes,which were launched in 1977 and are now in interstellar space,are powered …

What is Machining? In a previous blog,we focused on the future of 3D printing,also known as additive manufacturing.Additive manufacturing requires stacking layers upon layers of material to form a 3D object.Machining is another method of producing the same object.Instead of adding material,removing material achieves the desired form.You could say 3D printing is like laying bricks …
