Thermal Solar Goes Where PVs Can’t

Cars That Think

Global solar energy supplies are growing rapidly, with nearly 10 times as much solar capacity installed today as there was a decade ago. But even as the glossy rectangles become increasingly cheaper and ubiquitous, solar PV alone can't solve the nagging question: What to do when the sun isn't shining?

Inside the Universe Machine: The Webb Space Telescope’s Ultra-Reliable Radio

Cars That Think

Any scientific data the JWST collects during its lifetime will need to be stored on board, because the spacecraft doesn’t maintain round-the-clock contact with Earth. The DSN consists of three antenna complexes : Canberra, Australia; Madrid, Spain; and Barstow, California. The other is the 2.27
