Editorial Team

The Solar Daily Editorial Team produces Solar Daily's coverage of solar energy and the renewable transition. We report on photovoltaics, energy storage, project development, markets and policy, and the research advancing the next generation of solar technology. Articles reflect our team's collective editorial process, source verification, drafting, technical review, and editing, rather than a single writer's work. Solar Daily takes editorial responsibility for content under this byline. For more on how we work, see our editorial policy.

Some tardigrades can survive space vacuum, brief heat above boiling, near-absolute-zero cold, and radiation around 1,000 times the human lethal dose by collapsing into a dehydrated tun and deploying a molecular survival toolkit

Octopuses have nine brains, three hearts, and blue copper-based blood, and roughly two-thirds of their nervous system lives in their arms, meaning each limb can taste, decide, and react to a passing crab without waiting for the central brain to weigh in

How did a low-lying delta nation that lost about 138,000 people to a 1991 cyclone build a green belt and wider coastal defence, and how many died when another powerful storm struck in 2007?

Solar modules first switched on in 1979 and permanently installed at the University of Oldenburg in 1983 are still producing almost as much electricity as when they were first installed more than four decades later

What happened when a doctor traced a deadly 1854 London outbreak to a single street pump, removed its handle, and effectively invented modern epidemiology in the process?

Most rooftop monocrystalline solar cells begin as wafers sliced from one continuous crystal pulled from molten silicon at 1,414 degrees Celsius, in a growth cycle that can run for roughly two days before the finished panel reaches a roof

How does a spacecraft launched in 1977, now more than 24 billion kilometres away, still transmit data back to Earth on roughly the power of a hallway light bulb?

Lithium-ion battery electrodes can now be regenerated to about 95 percent of original capacity in an electrochemical bath that skips shredding, smelting, and acid leaching entirely, treating a dead cell more like a rechargeable one than a bag of scrap metal

In 1665, Robert Hooke pressed a sliver of cork under his hand-ground microscope, saw tiny empty chambers that reminded him of monks’ rooms, and named them cells in a folio so lavish that Samuel Pepys stayed up until two in the morning reading it

Sunlight striking a rooftop panel takes about 8 minutes and 20 seconds to arrive from the Sun, but the photons themselves spent roughly 100,000 years bouncing through the Sun’s dense interior before reaching its surface

What happened when a Central Asian inland sea, once the fourth largest lake on Earth, was cut off from its rivers and shrank to a tenth of its volume, and why is the northern lobe now rising again?

The Sun might look yellow, but seen from space without an atmosphere filtering its light, the Sun is actually white — and the yellow colour we see from Earth is the result of our atmosphere scattering blue light

Greenland sharks can live more than 400 years, meaning some swimming the North Atlantic today were alive when Bach was composing, and nearly all of them spend those centuries functionally blind because a parasitic crustacean latches to each eye

World urged to make clean energy cheaper than coal

Without collaboration, green transition ‘delayed by decades’: IEA

White House: no wrongdoing on solar panel firm
