Supercritical CO₂ vs. Steam: Is the Future of Solar Thermal Power Already Here?

by Boˆreal

A new study led by researchers at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and Siemens Energy has delivered a sobering verdict on the future of supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO₂) power cycles in next-generation solar thermal power plants. Despite the theoretical advantages of sCO₂ — higher efficiency, compact design, and faster ramp-up—the research concludes that steam still … Continue reading Supercritical CO₂ vs. Steam: Is the Future of Solar Thermal Power Already Here?

Triple Passivation: A Leap Forward for Indoor Solar Cells

by Boˆreal

Research is exploring harvesting solar energy indoors, where light is weaker and comes mainly from artificial sources. This is especially important for the rising number of small electronic devices that need reliable, sustainable power without relying on disposable batteries. A study shows how indoor solar technology can make a major leap forward, achieving an impressive … Continue reading Triple Passivation: A Leap Forward for Indoor Solar Cells
