The Evolution of Solar Energy: From Niche to Cheapest
Back in 1953, the US acquired the first commercial silicon solar cell from Bell Labs. However, those early solar cells were not efficient at all. If you installed them on your roof, you'd end up spending around $300,000 a month just to generate electricity. But over the past 70 years, we've seen a significant decline in the cost of solar energy. In fact, it's now the cheapest it has ever been, with prices dropping by nearly 90% since 2009. Solar energy is now often a more cost-effective option than traditional sources like coal, natural gas, or nuclear power. This success story is a testament to what we can achieve when we invest in and innovate clean technology. By taking the right lessons from the rise of solar power, we can work towards developing and deploying other sustainable technologies that will help us create a more livable planet for future generations.

"Exploring the Potential of 3D-Printed Solid-State Batteries"
The search for a better rechargeable battery is on, with the potential for more power, safety, speed, and lifespan. Researchers and private companies are racing to develop a battery that could replace the ubiquitous lithium-ion battery. And one company, in particular, is pushing the boundaries even further by exploring the potential of 3D printing batteries. By doing so, they aim to change our perception of what a battery can look like and how it can be used in various applications.

“The Peril of Moon Dust: Why NASA is Worried”
Have you ever wondered how scientists and engineers prepare for space missions to the moon? One of the challenges they face is the unpredictability of lunar soil, which can be dangerous to spacecraft and astronauts alike. That's where lunar regolith simulant comes in - a substance made by labs on Earth that mimics the properties of real moon soil. This small but growing cottage industry is helping to avoid potentially catastrophic collisions with the real thing as more missions aim for the moon and beyond. With the help of simulant, space exploration can proceed safely and with greater precision.
