In the next decade, the volume of production of thin-film solar modules in value terms will grow by about 10% per year. In gigawatts of power, the increase will be comparable to the rate shown by the rapidly developing solar power generation based on crystalline silicon.

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have proposed the use of catalysts in aircraft engines. According to Aviation Week, it is assumed that in this way it will be possible to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides that affect global climate change.

Chinese scientists have developed a technology for producing methanol from carbon dioxide, which allows you to extract fuel from the atmosphere without any energy costs. This is a passive system that only needs a water source and an open space to work. The main secret is to use the daily temperature fluctuations on Earth, when the heat of the day replaces the cold of the night.

The Lebanese media "Al-Masdar News" denied the information that Russian fighters were involved in the destruction of oil tankers in Syria.

Russia can become a major global producer and exporter of hydrogen – one of the most environmentally friendly sources of energy. Nobel laureate Rae Kwon Chung is sure of this. What is his forecast based on, what is happening in the hydrogen fuel market today, and under what conditions is Russia's hydrogen breakthrough really possible?

NASA will install additional solar panels on top of the existing ones on the ISS. They will partially replace the old ones, which have degraded over time, but due to high efficiency, they will increase the available electric power from 160 to 215 kilowatts. The new batteries are made of a flexible film that is rolled into a scroll for easy transport.
