Have we been doing Solar wrong all along?
You’re probably used to solar installations that look like this – solar panels facing up towards the sky, which makes sense. You want a wider area to catch more of that sweet solar energy, right? However, bifacial vertical solar panels have started to gain traction recently. Their more flexible-footprint has innovators in Canada, Norway and elsewhere testing them in all kinds of weird scenarios. People who are using these panels are reporting something odd – higher energy yield than expected. The extra yield stumped engineers, but a recent Dutch study may shed some light on the source of this extra energy. Have we been doing solar panels wrong this whole time, or is it all just a miscalculation? And how could this tech impact our lives?
Small Modular Nuclear Reactors. The Verdict.
Small Modular Nuclear Reactors are yet another apparently promising ‘silver bullet’ style solution to the Net Zero challenge. All the reliable, safe, baseload power of large centralised nuclear power stations but without the huge cost overspends and crippling project delays. What’s not to like, eh? Great on paper…but do Small Modular Nuclear Reactors pass the ‘sniff test’ in the real world?
How AI and deepfakes are changing politics | BBC News
Politicians including US President Joe Biden and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan have found themselves victims of deepfakes.
These are fake images or audio recordings generated by artificial intelligence and have spread rapidly across social media.
Although, there are politicians across the world who have not only embraced this technology but used it on themselves.
