Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed a new artificial photosynthesis device whose electrolytic cell can self-regulate without batteries or external controllers. The design significantly simplifies the overall system architecture and reduces costs. It stably converts solar energy into storable chemical fuel, making the technology more viable for future large-scale deployment.
T1 Energy announced its acquisition of KORE Power, aiming to address rising power needs from AI data centers. The deal focuses on integrating solar energy with battery energy storage systems, or BESS. Rather than a model or software update, the story highlights how AI infrastructure growth is increasing demand for reliable generation, storage, and energy system operations.
