Nanowires Have the Power to Revolutionize Solar Energy

Imagine a solar panel more efficient than today’s best solar panels, but using 10 000 times less material. This is what EPFL researchers expect given recent findings on these tiny filaments called nanowires. Solar technology integrating nanowires could capture large quantities of light and produce energy with incredible efficiency at a much lower cost. This technology is possibly the future for powering microchips...

Attempt on improving property of highly-densified biomass resources for renewable energy

To develop improved physical and calorific properties of highly-densified plant biomass resources, a new hot-pressing process was invented, in which biomass resources are subject to hot-compaction accompanied with flow deformation in a closed container, and the effects of compressing and temperature conditions for various plant-biomasses on the bulk density, size-stability and the calorific value were investigated....
