As demand for renewable energy soars, materials researchers are seeking ways to create more efficient solar cells. Standard crystalline solar photovoltaic (PV) cells produced commercially today typically can boast an 18 to 22 percent efficiency range. However, some researchers have turned their attention to more efficient silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells—the efficiency of which has reached 26.8 percent in the lab.

In 1991, Sony ushered in a new era of growth in consumer electronics by first commercializing a rechargeable lithium-ion (li-ion) battery. Sony's camcorders were among the first devices to make use of the technology. Since then, li-ion batteries have become so ubiquitous that today, we often take their role in our mobile phones and laptops for granted. .

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman discussed further cooperation on oil prices on Wednesday as members of OPEC+, a Kremlin spokesperson was quoted as saying. A Saudi account of the meeting said the crown prince praised joint coordination between the two countries "that helped remove tensions in Middle East." Putin and the crown prince, de facto ruler of the world's largest crude exporter, had the hastily arranged talks hours after the Kremlin leader visited Saudi Arabia's Gulf neighbour, the United Arab Emirates.

Russian gas production so far this year has slumped to levels not seen since the 1970s. The country's state energy giant Gazprom said in its latest report that gas production in the first half of 2023 was 179.45 billion cubic meters (bcm). Gazprom added that this represents a year-on-year decrease of nearly a quarter (24.7 percent), and a 26.5 percent drop in gas supplies to the domestic and foreign markets.

Modhera, a village in Gujarat, India, has become the first to run entirely on solar energy thanks to a government-funded project. This initiative has not only improved the living standards of the community and generated new sources of income for households, but also boosted local industries such as clothing and pottery production. The success of this project serves as a prime example of the benefits that can come from embracing renewable energy sources. To read more, use the button below to open the original external article.
