Solar electricity generation is on the rise. In fact, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission reported in late 2023 that more new solar generating capacity was installed in the U.S. during the first eight months of 2023 than any other renewable or fossil fuel-based energy source. But imagine if the solar panels generating all this power were able to capture even more energy. That’s where perovskites are coming into play. Researchers have been investigating this nanomaterial for its ability to improve the efficiency of solar cells for years and commercialization could be on the horizon. Here to talk about perovskites and their potential here on Earth and even out in space is John Iannelli, president and founder of Caelux, a company that is working toward commercializing the use of perovskites to make solar energy more powerful and cost-effective.

The workforce shortage and war for talent continue. One area that’s being hit particularly hard is the technical workforce, which is facing headwinds such as rapidly advancing technological requirements and antiquated perceptions. Despite growing demand across industries, from energy to manufacturing and beyond, there’s a widening gap between available positions and qualified candidates. And the engineer-to-technician ratio is widening, even though the need for critical hands-on skillsets is growing as well. Parminder Jassal, CEO and co-founder of Unmudl, a skills-to-jobs marketplace that connects learners and employers via a coast-to-coast network of leading community colleges, joins ASME TechCast to discuss these challenges and how industry, the public, and educators can turn this trend around.

Any parts must be made only from durable materials, and using high-precision technology. To do this, take a metal with high ductility and a homogeneous structure. The blank for further production of bolts must not contain any defects. Their surface is thoroughly cleaned of any signs of corrosion and foreign matter. You can find more information about it here https://xfasteners.com/custom-bolts/

Well, after working with specialists from https://www.printsafari.com/us_en/calendars, I knew that the technologies in the printing industry are on a brand new level, but I think that a 3D printed car is something totally different. I've also heard that someone's planning to 3D print a whole building, and that's insane.

For each motorist, I can say exactly what, of course, now everyone needs to know what restyling really is. This is not such a problem, but for many it seems that it is just unreal. Although it is not, I can say from myself that it is necessary to refer to professionals on this topic. For example, you can definitely look and see a great article about restyling at https://avtotachki.com/en/restajling-eto-chto-takoe-chto-oznachaet-restajling-dlya-avtomobilya-chto-takoe-restajling-avto-s-probegom/ , I've learned a lot for myself and learned something I did not even know before. So be sure to take a look at it and get acquainted with it. I hope that somehow I can help, I don't think there are any problems with it. Good luck and success, especially since restyling is actually a very cool thing that every motorist should really know about, I think it will be useful for you and it is mandatory.
