By [email protected] (Bengt Halvorson) Could an edgy-looking electric pickup be next for Fisker after the late-2022 rollout of the Ocean electric crossover? CEO Henrik Fisker last week suggested that the next model might be a lifestyle-oriented electric pickup truck. Based on the first sketch of the project released last week, it appears that the truck…

By Olufola Wusu The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) says 161 successful companies have been shortlisted to advance to the next and final stage of the bid round process for 57 marginal oilfields in the country.Marginal field is any field that has reserves booked and reported annually to the DPR and has remained unproduced for…
Polarons affect a material’s behavior, and may even be the reason that solar cells made with lead hybrid perovskites achieve extraordinarily high efficiencies in the lab. Now scientists have used an X-ray free-electron laser to directly see and measure the formation of these ephemeral atomic lattice distortions for the first time. Read Full Article Here…
By Kelsey Misbrener Vote Solar commended the Legislature for putting forward key climate legislation that will send a strong signal that Massachusetts remains committed to clean energy and to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. An Act Creating a Next-Generation Roadmap for Massachusetts Climate Policy, which Vote Solar urges Governor Baker to sign into law, is…
By [email protected] Getting to 100 percent clean energy presents power grid operators with a major problem: what to do about inertia. Reactive Technologies says its novel technology for measuring this critical aspect of grid stability can help them find answers. Over the past few years, Reactive’s technology for gaining visibility into grid inertia has been…

By [email protected] The nuclear industry is heading into 2021 with increased optimism around small modular reactors (SMRs) after a series of policy initiatives that were announced worldwide in recent weeks. The U.S., U.K. and Canada, three major nuclear markets, all signaled growing support for SMRs in the closing weeks of 2020. Canada, for example, launched…
By [email protected] (Stephen Edelstein) Tesla Model 3 electric cars built at the company’s Shanghai factory scored well in a Chinese-market J.D. Power quality survey, according to a recent South China Morning Post report. Tesla was ranked second in quality among battery-electric cars in the survey, behind Chinese automaker Nio, the report said. However, both brands’…
When solar cells are exposed to sunlight, certain bound ‘charge pairs’ are generated in its components, which need to be separated for photocurrent generation. Ferroelectric materials, due to their spontaneous electric polarization, are highly efficient at charge separation but do poorly in light-to-electricity conversion. Now, scientists have demonstrated using theoretical calculations that antiperovskite oxides, a…
