Fraunhofer ISE researchers developed semitransparent organic photovoltaic modules achieving 9.3% efficiency with 43.2% visible transmittance. The scalable manufacturing approach shows promise for roll-to-roll production of building-integrated solar technology.
Energy
High-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission technology is transitioning from specialized use to becoming standard in grid infrastructure. The shift reflects growing adoption of HVDC for long-distance power transmission, though broader grid modernization is lagging behind.
Climate
England faces record heat, drought, and deaths this summer with widespread hosepipe bans and depleted reservoirs. Climate scientist warns of increasingly extreme weather swings between dry summers and wet winters in coming years.
Wildlife
Protected areas alone cannot stop wildlife trafficking; dismantling criminal networks is essential for effective conservation. The commentary argues that while local enforcement matters, addressing organized crime networks is necessary to secure protected areas from poaching.
Energy
Europe installed 36 GWh of battery storage in 2025, representing 48% growth year-on-year. Germany led the market while Ukraine and Bulgaria entered the top five European nations.
EV
A new 3 gigawatt-hour lithium-ion battery factory in North Carolina will produce Made-in-the-USA batteries for electric trucks with $100 million in DOE funding. The facility aims to secure domestic battery supply chains for the EV industry.
