The researchers behind an energy system that makes it possible to capture solar energy, store it for up to eighteen years, and release it when and where it is needed have now taken the system a step further. After previously demonstrating how the energy can be extracted as heat, they have now succeeded in getting the system to produce electricity, by connecting it to a thermoelectric generator. Eventually, the research â developed at Chalmers University of Technology 0, Sweden â could lead to self-charging electronic gadgets that use stored solar energy on demand.
âThis is a radically new way of generating electricity from solar energy. It means that we can use solar energy to produce electricity regardless of weather, time of day, season, or geographical location. It is a closed system that can operate without causing carbon dioxide emissions,â says research leader Kasper Moth-Poulsen, Professor at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Chalmers.

In the raging battle between Russia and Ukraine, Russiaâs small drones have been reported to be taking a deadly toll on Ukrainian forces. A new video, however, is revealing that the highly efficient precision drones are not as advanced as one might expect.
Ukraineâs Defense Ministry shared a video on Sunday that shows a soldier allegedly dismantling a Russian military surveillance drone and pointing out several highly unsophisticated features. In fact, seeing what the whole drone consists of it seems like something a schoolchild could put together.
## A generic handheld Canon DSLR
The drone being taken apart is an Orlan-10 model that fell on Ukrainian soil. The first thing the soldier points out is that the droneâs camera is a simple generic handheld Canon DSLR, the kind you can find on any touristâs camera. How can such a complex war tool have such a common feature?
