Illinois researchers explore 'self-healing' for energy storage batteries
David J. Unger for Midwest Energy News: Batteries - whether theyre powering a smartphone or storing energy on the grid - take a beating.
These game-changing solar panels are cheap and can be printed
Johnny Lieu for Mashable: Researchers at the University of Newcastle in Australia are testing solar cells that use electronic inks printed on plastic film to conduct electricity.
Clear coating developed for the military has incredible potential for solar, wind and other alternative sources of energy.
Traditional hydrophobic coatings are clear and abrasion resistant but do not shed fluid easily. Superhydrophobic coatings are generally great at shedding water but are not clear, and are easily removed. Whether its abrasion resistance, oil repellency or visual clarity, conventional coatings have their limitations.
NASA is testing solar panels that unfurl like Fruit Roll-Ups in space
Sarah Fecht for Popular Science: The experiment is set to fly to the space station this week
A better way of converting coffee waste to biofuel?
Ben Coxworth for New Atlas: Scientists have developed a simpler new process for converting coffee grounds to biofuel.
Tesla's Solar Roof Is Finally Ready For You to Buy
Tom Randall for Bloomberg: Elon Musk says orders will begin today. Pricing details have yet to be revealed.
X-FAB and Exagan Successfully Produce First GaN-on-Silicon Devices on 200-mm Wafers
Silicon Foundry and GaN Start-Up Achieve Major Milestone in Establishing a 200-mm, Fully CMOS-Compatible Process While GaN Power Products Gain Market Traction
Thin layers of water hold promise for the energy storage of the future
Matt Shipman for Phys.org: "This is a proof of concept, but the idea of using water or other solvents to 'tune' the transport of ions in a layered material is very exciting," says Veronica Augustyn, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering at NC State and corresponding author of a paper describing the work.
An Italian company is turning hot sand into clean energy
Giuliano Balestrieri, Business Insider Italia: The same heat that burns your feet when you walk on sand could be the key to making clean energy and endless electricity. An Italian firm, Magaldi Group, is doing so by using sand as a storage system to eventually concentrate solar energy.
Power Regulation and Pitch Control
Wind gusts can increase wind speeds at rates and for durations just long enough for the energy to enter the system, but sometimes too fast for conventional pitch control systems to respond adequately.
Lunar-Based Solar Power Concept Could Solve The World's Energy Crisis
Wall Street Pit: If the moon can be turned into a solar power station, our energy problems for sustainable and affordable electric power on a global scale will be solved.
This solar panel produces up to 5 liters of drinking water per day from the air
Derek Markham for TreeHugger: Zero Mass Water's Source device is a rooftop solar device that produces water instead of just electricity.
Low-cost 'solar absorber' promising for future power plants
Emil Venere for Phys.org: Researchers have shown how to modify commercially available silicon wafers into a structure that efficiently absorbs solar energy and withstands the high temperatures needed for "concentrated solar power" plants that might run up to 24 hours a day.
A Low-Tech Approach To Energy Storage: Molten Metals
Bruce Gellerman for WBUR: The ability to store energy promises to revolutionize the way we generate, transmit and use electricity - making renewable sources such as wind and solar cheaper and more dependable.
Massachusetts is one of just three states requiring electric utilities to build battery facilities in the future.
A company in Marlborough believes it literally has the next hot technology in energy storage: molten metals.
Record-breaking solar panel converts more than a quarter of sunlight into electricity
Ian Johnson for Independent: A record-breaking solar panel that can convert more than a quarter of the sunlight it receives into electricity has been developed by researchers in Japan.

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production
In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
