Could Transparent Solar Panels Mean That Tomorrow’s Windows Will Generate Electricity?
https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/could-transparent-solar-panels-mean-that-tomorrows-windows-will-generate-electricity
Solar panels, being opaque due to their semiconductor layers, can traditionally only be mounted on buildings. Recently, however, scientists at Incheon University, South Korea created a transparent version of the energy harnessing technology. Could these see-through solar panels ever be integrated into windows?

University of Warwick Researchers Develop Less Toxic Solar Cells for Manufacturing Solar Panels
https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/the-university-of-warwick-works-towards-low-cost-and-less-toxic-solar-cells-for-manufacturing-solar-panels
Despite the benefits of solar cells, their manufacturing process involves many expensive and unsustainable practices. The University of Warwick has set a milestone in combating both the harmful chemicals and the costs of solar cell production: enter its new method for patterning copper and silver, based on selective metal vapour condensation—enabled by organofluorine compounds.

Advano, a New Orleans start-up, is scaling up its silicon nanoparticle production by using repurposed silicon from solar panels to produce better lithium-ion batteries.
You’ll Hear Them Before You See Them: EVs in Europe Are Designed to Be Noisy
https://makerv2.webteractive.co/blog/youll-hear-them-before-you-see-them-evs-in-europe-are-designed-to-be-noisy
The shift to EVs has been a hot topic in recent years. As part of the efforts to combat the far-reaching effects of fossil fuel emissions on the global climate, the automotive industry has tilted its focus towards the research, design, and production of vehicles that run on alternative energy sources, such as hydrogen, solar panels, and powerful batteries.
