McGill University: McGill researchers develop a cheaper, safer material for use in solar panels, sensors and optical devices . “Using proteins from a common tobacco plant virus, McGill chemistry researchers have developed a simple, eco-friendly way to arrange gold nanoparticles into ultrathin sheets, strengthening the particles’ optical properties. The result: cheaper, safer materials for […]

Solar’s growth in US almost enough to offset rising energy use arstechnica.com/science/2025/1… #SolarEnergy #growth

Text Shot: Six months have made a big difference. Total electricity demand is rising, but at a far more moderate 2.3 percent, and, depending on how the weather drives heating demand, that number could be even lower by the end of the year. The growth of solar, in contrast, has only tailed off slightly—it’s still up by 36 percent year over year. As such, solar growth was enough to offset over 80 percent of the increased demand. (Though, as we’ll discuss below, solar’s use is probably directly undercutting natural gas.) We’re nearly at the point where solar is growing fast enough to completely offset a notable growth in demand.

I really love using AI to fact-check (YouTube) videos. I've created a #Gemini 'gem' where I only need to paste in the URL. Here's an example with a #video about potential problems with #solarenergy: gemini.google.com/share/ce9e1f...
