Breakthrough research shows carbon dioxide evolution acts as a thermodynamic switch during electrode synthesis. This discovery enables better control of microstructural defects in sodium-ion battery materials.
As solar activity increases, satellites face growing threats from space weather. A new hybrid framework combining statistical methods and machine learning reveals how geomagnetic storms subtly degrade satellite power systems in ways traditional monitoring misses.
Samsung appears to be rethinking its chip architecture for the Galaxy S26, potentially separating connectivity functions from the main processor. This strategic shift could deliver significant improvements in battery life and thermal management. Here’s what this means for future smartphone design.
Electric vehicle maker Rivian is implementing another round of layoffs affecting approximately 600 employees. The workforce reduction comes as the company faces changing government EV incentives and prepares for its more affordable R2 model launch in 2026.
Electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian is reportedly laying off approximately 600 employees, representing about 4% of its total workforce, according to the Wall Street Journal. Sources indicate this marks the second round of job cuts at the automaker within recent months, though company officials have not provided detailed comments on the latest reductions.
Windows 11’s dark mode is gaining attention for its dual benefits of reducing eye strain during nighttime use and conserving battery on OLED devices. The feature, easily accessible through display settings, offers a sophisticated alternative to the operating system’s standard light theme. Users can further enhance comfort by scheduling the night light feature for warmer color temperatures.
Computer users are increasingly turning to dark mode functionality within Windows 11 to alleviate eye discomfort during nighttime usage, according to recent reports. Sources indicate that while many users prefer the standard light mode interface during daylight hours, the transition to darker hours often necessitates a visual adjustment to prevent eye strain from excessive screen brightness.
South Africa’s power utility Eskom has reportedly eased registration requirements for residential solar and battery installations. The changes allow qualified electricians to approve systems under existing safety frameworks, reducing previous engineering requirements.
South Africa’s state-owned power utility Eskom has reportedly simplified registration processes for residential solar and battery energy systems, according to anticorruption organization OUTA. Sources indicate the changes represent a significant reduction in bureaucratic requirements for homeowners adopting small-scale embedded generation (SSEG) solutions.
Solar power has become the world’s cheapest electricity source with installation costs dropping 90% in 15 years. Energy experts predict solar will dominate global energy supply despite current challenges in storage and grid infrastructure.
Solar electricity is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, with total generation capacity doubling between 2022 and 2024 to supply 7% of the world’s electricity, according to energy analysts. The first half of 2025 marked a historic turning point as wind and solar combined generated more power than coal for the first time, making renewables the world’s leading electricity source.

Proposed changes to renewable energy accounting standards could reveal significant gaps in Big Tech’s environmental commitments. The revisions would require companies to demonstrate more direct local impact rather than relying on distant offset projects. Industry analysts suggest these changes would force technology firms to invest more substantially in regional clean energy infrastructure.
Major technology companies may fall short of their renewable energy targets as proposed changes to environmental accounting standards would close what critics call “greenwashing loopholes,” according to industry reports. The Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s planned revisions would alter how corporations account for clean energy credits, potentially revealing that many current sustainability claims rely heavily on accounting techniques rather than substantive environmental progress.
