Analysis of 6,276 connectors for rooftop PV systems
Sandia National Labs researchers have created a new dataset on the rates and types of rooftop photovoltaic connector failures and published the first large-scale investigation of harvested PV connectors, drawing from a dataset of 6276 connectors from residential rooftop solar systems across the United States.
Toyota recalls over 1 million vehicles for camera problems
Toyota and Lexus have launched one of the year’s biggest recalls, affecting over a million vehicles from 2023–2026 due to a parking assist camera issue.
Study shows light can reshape atom-thin semiconductors for next-generation optical devices
Rice University researchers have discovered that light can induce a physical shift in the atomic lattice of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), a class of atom-thin semiconductors. This tunable effect, observed in a Janus-type TMD, opens the door to technologies that use light instead of electricity, enabling faster, cooler computer chips, ultrasensitive sensors, and flexible optoelectronic […]
Argonne-led Q-NEXT quantum center renewed for five years
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has renewed funding for Q-NEXT, a National Quantum Information Science Research Center led by Argonne National Laboratory with SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, for another five years. Backed by $125 million—$25 million in fiscal year 2026 and future funding subject to congressional approval—this investment ensures Q-NEXT will continue driving advancements […]
