Quantum dots are one of the most promising technologies in microelectronics – the so-called fragments of semiconductors or conductors, so tiny that the movement of charges in them is severely limited, allowing quantum effects to manifest themselves. This makes it possible, for example, to precisely control the energy transition levels of the electrons and the …

Russian authorities are considering creating centers for the production of hydrogen and ammonia-based on tidal energy and tidal power plants (TPPs). The main project implemented on this order could be the Penzhinskaya TPP in Kamchatka — its potential will turn the world energy industry upside down in the future, local media reported. Now, the most …

Stanford researchers found that modified solar panels that run at night generate enough power to charge a phone or run an LED flashlight, bypassing the need to store power in batteries in off-grid locations. Solar electricity is generated when the sun radiates energy onto a relatively cold solar panel. This panel consists of so-called solar …
