Booming solar industry has a growing appetite for weed-chomping crews

Calgary The growing number of large-scale solar fields has created an increased need for animals to help control the weeds and other vegetation. Research is underway to explore what other types of animals could be used on solar sites. ‘We start thinking about agriculture at our solar projects on Day 1,’ says developer Kyle Bakx · CBC […]

Oxford scientists’ new light-absorbing material can turn everyday objects into solar panels

Oxford scientists’ new light-absorbing material can turn everyday objects into solar panels

Oxford University scientists may have solved one of the greatest hindrances of expanding access to solar energy. Scientists from the universitys physics department have created an ultra-thin layer of material that can be applied to the exterior of objects with sunlight access in place of bulky silicon-based solar panels. The ultra-thin and flexible film is

Sun unleashes X-class solar flare, blasts 3rd coronal mass ejection toward Earth in a week (video)

Sun unleashes X-class solar flare, blasts 3rd coronal mass ejection toward Earth in a week (video)

There are now three different coronal mass ejections (CMEs) heading toward our planet, which could mean increased opportunities this weekend to see the aurora across the northern U.S. and Europe. CMEs are massive blasts of magnetic field and plasma that originate from solar flares from the sun, which can lead to powerful geomagnetic storms for
