Power banks are becoming popular and handy. They are useful devices for charging our cell phone batteries when we are on the road and away from power outlets, but improper use could lead to disasters.
New methods for reducing air pollution and generating solar fuels developed by scientists from SEE offer practical solutions to the energy shortage, environmental issues, and related public health risks.
“An Energy-Free, Low-Cost and High Cooling Performance Passive Radiative Cooling Technology for Building Applications” led by Dr. Edwin Tso, Assistant Professor, received the Gold Medal with Congratulations of the Jury at Inventions Geneva Evaluation Days (IGED) 2021. IGED, held from 10 to 14 March 2021, is a special edition of the International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva due to the pandemic.
