Water Reservoirs: Better Protection of Water Resources

(Photo: Tobias Bleninger, KIT) Reservoirs are indispensable for global drinking water supply. To protect them from silting, overfertilization, and pollution, anticipating monitoring of water quality is required. A Brazilian-German consortium led by Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) has now developed user-friendly measurement and monitoring methods that are particularly suited for regions with limited data availability. Among others, project results confirm the big effect of reforestation in the reservoir catchment. In case deterioration of water quality is detected at an early stage, countermeasures can be implemented in due time and endangered reservoirs can be preserved much longer. Environmental models help monitor and assess inputs of substances and water quality. Models used so far, however, hav

Large-area perovskite solar module with 18% efficiency

Large-area perovskite solar module with 18% efficiency Researchers in Germany claim to have overcome the main challenge for the development of large-area perovskite PV modules - scaling up from the cell to the module level. They achieved an efficiency of up to 16.6% on a module surface of ??more than 50 centimeters squared, and 18% on a module with an area of 4 centimeters squared.Scientists at Germany s Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) claim to have achieved an efficiency of 18% for a perovskite solar module with an area of ??4cm2 - a world record for a vacuum-processed perovskite panel. The researchers explained they were able to scale up .

NUST MISIS Scientists Got Photons to Interact, Taking Step Towards Long-Living Quantum Memory

NUST MISIS Scientists Got Photons to Interact, Taking Step Towards Long-Living Quantum Memory MOSCOW, April 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ An international research team, obtained experimental evidence for effective interaction between microwave photons via superconductive qubits for the first time. The study, published in npj Quantum Materials, may be a step towards the implementation of a long-living quantum memory and the development of commercial quantum devices. Scientists believe that individual light particles, or photons, are ideally suited for sending quantum information. Encoded with quantum data, they could literally transfer information at the speed of light. However, while photons would make for great carriers because of their speed, they don t like to interact with each other, making it difficult to achieve quantum entanglement.
