🌑 On August 12, a solar eclipse will temporarily reduce electricity generation in Europe by 9,700 MW. Grid operators warn of fluctuations but promise stability. France will be less affected than Germany and Spain. Meanwhile, Georgia and Hungary are facing serious blackouts.

🔋 Japanese scientists from Shibaura Institute of Technology have created a new catalyst capable of revolutionizing the battery market. 🇯🇵 The development combines perovskite and spinel, showing efficiency comparable to platinum, but without using expensive metals. 🚗 This could bring the commercialization of lithium-oxygen batteries closer, which theoretically store 10 times more energy than modern counterparts. ⚡ Prospects: electric vehicles with a range of 1000+ km, drones with increased flight time, and powerful accumulators for renewable energy sources. ⚠️ The technology is currently at the stage of laboratory testing, but this is an important step towards an energy breakthrough.
