psi: Plant Photosystem I excitation energy transfer network (2020)
Weighted directed network of the light-harvesting Photosystem Ι (PSI) of the plant Pisum sativum. The nodes represent chromophores with different identities (i.e. chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, β-carotene and derivates, lutein, violaxanthin), while edges represent FRET transfer between chromophores. The link directionality connecting nodes in the PSI network depends on the energy levels of the connected chromophores. The…

The often mentioned "But China and India are still building new coal power plants" - true - doesn't mean that the amount of electricity they generate from coal goes up. Actually, it went down last year, and the amount of coal used probably went down faster thanks to the increased efficiency of the fleet.

A breakthrough for renewable energy storage: Italian company GES has developed a manganese-hydrogen battery that could reshape the grid.
It costs just €0.02 per kWh per cycle—dramatically undercutting lithium-ion—while lasting 10,000 cycles at 75% efficiency. Commercial rollout expected in 2027.

China's biggest oil company just hit a major solar breakthrough.
CNPC developed a perovskite solar cell with 25.05% efficiency—impressive on its own, but here's the bigger story: they're planning to pair it with silicon cells to slash energy costs. Pilot production starts 2026, mass production 2028.
Their goal? Match their oil output with renewables by 2035.

The #KeepassXC discussion about GenAI coding tool use seems a bit too simplistic at the moment.
There is room for nuance:
1. Yes, LLM based code generators consume insane amounts of electricity and generate collateral environment damage. That's bad, and we should talk much more about energy efficiency and reasonable use of resources.
2. Yes, LLMs generate a lot of bad o…

Anybody happen to know the effective thermal power of a standard gasoline pump?
Like, X gallons per minute * Y joules per gallon of gas = Z kW of potential energy delivered to the vehicle
(this would then have to be scaled by motor efficiency to be a realistic comparison to EVs/EV chargers in terms of, e.g. miles of range delivered per minute of fueling/charging)

Longi just hit a major breakthrough in flexible solar tech: 33.35% efficiency for a perovskite-silicon tandem cell.
That's certified by NREL and represents a huge leap forward. The cell uses a clever dual-buffer layer design for better durability—it kept over 97% efficiency after bending and heat stress tests.
This could unlock solar panels that bend and flex for new applications.

Colorado is making heat pumps actually affordable. The state just launched rebates up to $14,000 for energy efficiency upgrades, with $8,000 specifically for heat pumps.
This matters because heat pump sales already surpass gas furnaces nationwide, and new cold-climate tech means they work even in freezing temps. It's a real pathway to cut emissions and ditch fossil fuels.

Huawei just launched FusionSolar 9.0, and it's a game-changer for renewable energy grids.
The platform combines solar-plus-storage with AI-driven management and grid-forming inverters that actively support weak grids instead of just feeding into them. It includes real-time optimization and fault detection, transforming solar plants into stability assets for grids with high renewable penetration.
