One of todays most ambitious projects is getting underway: a new partnership between India and Germany is paving the way for the electric car „Car Pi“, which will get its energy from the environment rather than from a charging station, making it completely independent of „dishonest“ electricity generated by the

What’s the most common — yet most elusive and least understood — particle in the universe? The neutrino. Starting with the invention of the nuclear bomb, billions of dollars have been spent in pursuit of this so-called ghost particle. Outnumbering atoms a billion to one, neutrinos are preposterously plentiful, they

Life on Earth will cease to exist without electrical energy, and a breakthrough kind of renewable energy that does not require batteries is emerging. In the not-too-distant future, neutrinovoltaic devices will power every electrical item on the planet, ushering in the age of „perfect electricity,“ according to Neutrino Energy Group

On Friday October 1st 2021, Cop26 envoy John Murton and EIB president Werner Hoyer laid out the strategy. Rather than lowering ambition in pursuit of agreement, they’re using a minilateral approach, enlisting climate leaders to sign onto a bold declaration. That calls for focusing on the Paris Agreement’s toughest goal

In the run-up to the announcement of the 2021 Nobel Prize for Physics on 5 October, we’re running a series of blog posts looking at previous recipients and what they did after their Nobel prize-winning work. Michael Banks talks to neutrino pioneer Takaaki Kajita about the move into gravitational-wave research.

The most generally debated topic in the present news, in light of recent changes in the energy supply sector, is the high gas price, which has resulted in steep increases in power and heating bills, as well as unending disputes over who is to blame and what should be done

Greta Thunberg, then 15 years old, began protesting for emission reduction three years ago. She is currently cited in international media as stating at the UN Climate Summit (COP26) this year that leaders of state and administration should cease making hollow promises to the youth of today Her comment follows

Supermassive black holes, even if they are not so active, can be major factories of high-energy cosmic particles in the universe, according to a new model proposed by an international research team including Penn State scientists. A paper describing the model that may explain the mysterious connection between observed gamma

Solar power was stagnant to develop in its early stages. Although solar cells were originally used for space travel in 1958, they were mostly used in small-scale applications like pocket calculators in the 1970s, and it took over 20 years for a complete household to be powered by electricity. The

Our electronic devices are rapidly evolving. The smartphone was a cutting-edge innovation ten years ago, but modern smartphones have already outstripped their predecessors to the point where the original iPhone looks like a dinosaur in comparison to the new iPhone 13. Device technology will advance even further into the utopian
