Using a surrogate model for finite element analysis, the scientists have designed an aluminum frame for bifacial modules that reportedly minimizes deflection and production costs, without adding too much weight. Deflection can lead to cracking or delamination of ribbons inside the module, resulting in an increase number of damaged cells. July 1, 2024 Lior Kahana […]
On March 11, 2024, NASA’s Odyssey orbiter captured an intricate panorama of Olympus Mons, the tallest volcano in our solar system.

To celebrate the milestone, the space
The new Yale-led study suggests that designers of solar panels and biorefineries could gain valuable insights from the iridescent giant clams found in tropical coral reefs. This is due to the precise geometries of giant clams, which consist of dynamic, vertical columns of photosynthetic receptors covered by a thin, light-scattering layer. These geometries may establish
