Golden, CO, April 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Today, U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm and U.K. Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) Secretary of State Kwasi Kwarteng joined with CEOs of power system operators and organizations from around the world to introduce the Global Power System Transformation (G-PST) Consortium, a bold and innovative public-private partnership to accelerate transitions to net-zero-emissions power systems and drive broader economic growth.
The launch event signals a major commitment from power system operators and other key institutions to implementing the technologies and approaches that will permanently change their emissions trajectories while simultaneously improving grid reliability, resiliency, and security.

The technology which heats up pea-sized crushed stones in insulated steel tanks using an innovative pump-based system and releases the stored energy via a turbine to produce electricity – has undergone tests at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), but will now be trialled at a solar array in the Zealand region on the Baltic Sea, as well being incorporated in a Danish Energy Agency ‘GridScale’ project.
“Stone is an inexpensive and sustainable material, which can store large volumes of energy taking up only a little space, and it can withstand innumerable rounds of charging and discharging of the storage,” said Ole Alm, Andel’s head of development. “We know this from our tests at the Risø [DTU] facility. We must now create units that are flexible and relativel

During the Semiconductors for Breakfast meeting, researchers woke up to talks on light-emitting nanorods and hairy cavities.
E. Fadaly/Eindhoven University of Technology Recent work shows that nanorods of silicon-germanium can emit light, unlike pure silicon crystals. Researchers grew these semiconductor materials with the necessary hexagonal crystal structure by seeding them on hexagonally shaped nanowires.
