Flexible solar cell with record 26.4% efficiency could advance drones

1 day ago | interestingengineering.com | Aman Tripathi

The new perovskite-organic tandem cell design. SERISScientists at the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS) have developed a new type of ultra-thin, flexible solar cell that has shattered world records for efficiency, paving the way for a new generation of integrated electronics. The team achieved an independently certified power conversion efficiency of 26.4% for their tandem solar cell, a landmark achievement that makes it the most efficient cell of its kind in the world.
China ditches calcium in nuclear fusion race to discover new elements

1 day ago | interestingengineering.com | Ameya Paleja

Researchers at Xi’an Jiaotong University in China have found a novel approach to synthesizing superheavy element nuclei beyond uranium using less beam energy than conventional approaches. This could open up newer possibilities in making superheavy elements in the lab and understanding nuclear stability at higher atomic numbers. Superheavy elements are elements with a large number of protons in their nuclei, which makes them unstable.

Simulations can accurately predict the melting point of lithium chloride by modeling the liquid form as a gas of ions and the solid form as a lattice of interconnected springs. Credit: Luke Gibson/ORNL, U.S. Dept. of EnergyOak Ridge National Laboratory scientists have used artificial intelligence to predict the behavior of molten lithium chloride with an accuracy normally reserved for high-end quantum calculations, yet in a fraction of the time.
Laser breakthrough for ultra-intense pulses advance nuclear fusion

1 day ago | interestingengineering.com | Aman Tripathi

Scientists have developed a technique to measure the complete profile of ultra-intense laser pulses in a single shot. The method, named RAVEN (Real-time Acquisition of Vectorial Electromagnetic Near-fields), was used to capture distortions in one of the world’s most powerful lasers, offering a new tool for physics research.

Solid-state battery developer QuantumScape announced today it has integrated a new manufacturing process called “Cobra” into its production line. The company has reported that the system increases the speed of a critical heat-treatment step by approximately 25 times compared to its previous method.
Estonian engineers turn $9 trash phones into pocket-sized data centers

2 days ago | interestingengineering.com | Kaif Shaikh

A team at the University of Tartu’s Institute of Computer Science has shown that obsolete mobile phones can be wired together to do the sort of heavy data processing normally reserved for expensive server farms while keeping thousands of handsets out of landfills. Led by associate professor of pervasive computing Huber Flores, the engineers stripped the batteries from four discarded Google Nexus devices, fitted them with 3-D-printed holders, and powered them from an external source.
New stamp-like hard drive made from novel molecule can hold 3 TB data

Hard drives made from a novel molecule developed by researchers at the Australian National University (ANU) and the University of Manchester could revolutionize data storage shortly. A postage-sized drive that works at temperatures seen on the dark side of the Moon can store half a million TikTok videos, marking a significant improvement over current storage methodologies, a press release said.
Ultra-efficient amplifier slashes quantum computer's power use by 90%

2 days ago | interestingengineering.com | Aman Tripathi

This novel amplifier reduces a common source of error in quantum systems. EurekalertResearchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a new type of amplifier that reduces power consumption by 90% compared to current models, a step that could help develop larger and more stable quantum computers. The amplifier, which activates only when needed, lessens a known source of error in quantum systems, potentially enabling designs with more quantum bits, or qubits, and improved performance.
