SolarCity’s solar Gigafactory to produce 10GW, or three large power stations, a year
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF The new SolarCity Gigafactory will boost supply of solar products, helping to reduce their cost, which in turn should accelerate the adoption of solar power technologies. While discussing potential improvements in manufacturing efficiency with Tesla investor Ron Baron at his conference in New York...
Physicists just turned a non superconductive material into a superconductor
WHY THIS MATTERS IN BRIEF Superconductors that could operate at room temperature would transform the healthcare, energy, technology and transportation industries. For the first time, researchers have achieved superconductivity – the phenomenon of electrical conductivity with zero resistance – in a material that’s not a superconductor. The new technique...
