SOLAR UPGRADE: NEW PANELS ARE 1,000X STRONGER, THINNER THAN A HUMAN HAIR

Scientists in Germany just cooked up a solar panel sandwich that makes today’s tech look like a flip phone. By stacking ultra-thin layers of exotic crystals, they created solar cells 1,000 times more powerful than silicon—and way more durable. These featherweight panels don’t even need complex wiring and could someday power cities using way less space, money, and sunlight. Source: Bright Side of News, Mario Nawfal on X

Mark Carney has won Canada’s election

The national broadcaster projected, but his parliamentary majority hangs in the balance after a campaign dominated by the country’s relationship with the US under Donald Trump. Carney’s party was on track to win the largest number of seats and the right to form a government as polls closed across much of the country on Monday, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. However, whether he could command a parliamentary majority or would have to depend on other parties to govern in a minority administration remained too close to call on Monday night. At 11pm in Toronto, the Liberals were ahead in 159 seats in the 343-seat House of Commons and the Conservatives in 142, according to the CBC, putting Carney’s party in a commanding position to form at least a minority government.
