This bio-inspired leaf generates more power than solar panels
This is according to a press release by the institution published on Tuesday.
The PV-leaf
Called PV-leaf, the innovation “uses low-cost materials and could inspire the next generation of renewable energy technologies.”
What Is The Venus Project?
Is a non-profit organization that presents a new socio-economic model utilizing science and technology toward social betterment to achieve a sustainable civilization of abundance for all, without exception.
Scientists find way to create solar power from common chromium
Chromium compounds could soon replace the rare and expensive metals osmium and ruthenium.
Scientists have found a way to make solar panels and phone screens from readily available chromium. This is according to a report.
The article highlights how a major breakthrough sees material “almost as rare as gold” replaced by everyday components, significantly reducing “the price of manufacturing the technology that relies on it.”

This is according to a report by The Independent published on Monday.
A new bio-inspired solar leaf design with increased harvesting efficiency
New research suggests a new solar energy design, inspired by nature, may pave the way for future renewable energy technologies.
Photovoltaic solar energy is obtained by converting sunshine into electricity —and researchers from Imperial have developed a new leaf-like design with increased efficiency.
The new photovoltaic leaf (PV-leaf) technology uses low-cost materials and could inspire the next generation of renewable energy technologies.
US scientists trying to harness the power of the sun have made a 2nd major breakthrough for the future of sustainable, green energy
For the second time, scientists have taken one significant step forward toward a future that runs on clean, sustainable nuclear fusion-powered energy.
Tesla Cybertrucks are now coming out of Giga Texas in numbers
A new drone flyover of Gigafactory Texas shows that Tesla Cybertrucks are now coming out of the factory in numbers.
If Tesla sticks to its latest production timeline for the Cybertruck, we are just weeks away from the start of production and the first deliveries to employees.
We have been following closely to determine if that’s possible and now we get one of the best indications to date.
Jeffrey Sachs Interview — Resentment and Nuclear Threats
We need a new philosophical framework for problem solving and global conflict resolutions or we will be finished as a species.
Jeffrey Sachs Interview — Resentment and Nuclear Threats.

Asian capital city named world’s most polluted
The Indonesian capital of Jakarta was ranked the most polluted city in the world on Wednesday.
Swiss air quality technology company IQAir has consistently ranked it among the top 10 polluted cities around the globe since May.
Jakarta registers unhealthy air pollution levels nearly every day, it said.
New photoreactor technology could pave the way to a carbon-neutral future, researchers say
An international team that includes researchers from the University of Toronto has designed and implemented a new model for photoreactors, a solar-powered technology for converting water, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrogen into greener chemicals and fuels.
The innovative design allows the photoreactor to capture photons at high efficiency under varying sun directions, eliminating the need for sun-tracking. The panels are also manufacturable via extrusion of polymers, making them inexpensive and easily manufacturable at scale—all of which could help make a sustainable future more affordable and practical.
Geoffrey Ozin, University Professor in U of T’s department of chemistry in the Faculty of Arts & Science, and his team collaborated with researchers from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany on the project.
