2024 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Review – Cheap(ish) Speed

The Truth About Cars

The changes start with the exterior, which has a more angular design – it’s especially noticeable at the rear taillights.

KU Leuven team creates solar panel that produces hydrogen from moisture in air

Green Car Congress

A traditional solar panel converts between 18 to 20% of the solar energy into electricity. The KU Leuven bioscience engineers solved this problem by designing a solar panel of 1.6 m² that converts 15% of the sunlight straight into hydrogen gas. The researchers, however, say that it should be affordable.

Caltech’s SSPD-1 Is a New Idea for Space-Based Solar

Cars That Think

Several recently published deep-dive analyses commissioned by NASA and the European Space Agency have thrown cold water on the hope that space solar power could affordably generate many gigawatts of clean energy in the near future. That’s one of the reasons we’ve pulled away from that approach and moved toward a flat design.
