Floating solar power connected to hydropower might be the future for renewable energy OPINION: Hydropower plants need an upgrade. And we need to use more renewable energy sources. The solution? Floating solar power connected to existing hydropower plants.
Just how good are electric cars? Norway seems pretty happy with them so far. New report documents Norway's experience with adopting electric and hybrid cars throughout the country.
Norwegian researchers are making super-efficient solar cells In the future, solar cells can become twice as efficient by employing a few smart little nano-tricks.
Tracking the Earth’s magnetic field in Northern Lights Physicists are keen on solving the mysteries of the Earth’s magnetic field. Their curiosity has a practical side – when solar storms that create the aurora are bent by the magnetic field, it can affect technologies that modern civilization depends on.
Plans underway to power up with kites Flying generators running on wind power can revolutionise the green energy sector. A Norwegian project has made a lot of headway.
Taking silicon for a spin Scientists sling it outwards in centrifuges, or whip it up like hot hailstones. They are finding novel ways to make super pure silicon quickly and efficiently.
Bright future for solar energy in the north Many Nordic regions have potentials for exploiting solar energy matching that of the solar giant Germany.
Harvesting energy from all forms of sunlight By simply cutting UV photons in two, we could get twice the amount of energy from sunlight.
New material for solar cells The raw materials are abundant, cheap and environmentally friendly. Metal hydrides can represent the next breakthrough for solar power.
