Industry body the Bundesverband Solarwirtschaft (BSW-Solar) expects around 7 GWh of large-scale battery storage to be added during that period.
One of the key features of the eVinci microreactor is its impressive versatility. It will have the capability to generate five megawatts of electricity, produce over 13 megawatts of high-temperature heat, or operate in combined heat and power mode, according to the Saskatchewan Research Council.
To put this in perspective, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission reported in 2012 that a single megawatt of capacity from a conventional power plant can meet the energy needs of 400 to 900 homes in a year.

A 9.2 km diameter rim, concentric normal faults and an extended damage zone are observed in 3-dimensional seismic reflection data from the Nadir crater offshore Western Africa and provide strong evidence for an impact origin.
If you started watching a movie from the middle without knowing its plot, you’d likely be better at inferring what had happened earlier than predicting what will happen next, according to a new Dartmouth-led study published in Nature Communications.
Artificial intelligence applications are experiencing a boom and expected to be mainstream technologies in the near future. However, these applications run on classic computing hardware and are extremely power-hungry.
There are more Aggies running Fortune 500 companies than any other university in the state, according to a new investment analyst report.
A coronal mass ejection from the sun is expected to trigger a G3 geomagnetic storm, causing the northern lights.
SoftBank Group Corp. founder Masayoshi Son sketched out one of the most aggressive timelines for the adoption of artificial intelligence yet, envisioning a near future where the technology would run entire households.
Adrenergic receptors (ARs) are preferentially expressed by innate lymphocytes such as natural killer (NK) cells.
Here, we study the effect of epinephrine-mediated stimulation of the β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) on the function of human NK cells.
β2-Adrenergic receptor stimulation inhibits NK cell activation. (A) β2-Adrenergic receptor expression analysis of PBMCs by flow cytometry (n = 8). Subsets were assigned according to the following markers: B cells (CD19+), NK cells (CD56+, CD3−), CD56 dim (CD56dim, CD3−), CD56 bright (CD56bright, CD3−), NK-T cells (CD56+, CD3+), T cells (CD3+), and monocytes (FSC/SSC). (B) Representative β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) expression histograms of freshly isolated or cultured NK cells. © IFNγ secretion of fresh NK cells (top) or cultured NK cells (bottom). NK cells were pretreated with epinephrine ± propranolol (each 1 µM) and stimulated for 5 h by plate-bound antibodies as indicated. Supernatant was analyzed by IFNγ ELISA (mean, n = 3). (D) Degranulation of fresh NK cells (top) or cultured NK cells (bottom) was analyzed by CD107a expression. NK cells were pretreated and stimulated (3 h) like in ©, (mean, n = 3). Statistical analysis in © and (D) was performed using two-way ANOVA test, **** p < 0.0001; *** p < 0.001; ** p < 0.01; control set to 100%).
