🇨🇳 In China, there are robots that double as solar panels and use the power they generate to clean other solar panels. Snow often covers solar panels at photovoltaic power stations durng winter. This robot automatically removes the snow.

What a convenient and smart way to install solar panels while still maintaining the beauty and aesthetics of the building. With such approach, clean energy and beautiful architecture can truly go hand in hand.

A miracle in the Taklamakan Desert: in Hotan, Xinjiang, people channel flood waters into the poplar forest in the desert for irrigation. And now, every autumn, the golden poplars, the emerald lake and the desert together create a unique wonder. Video credited to：摄影师王汉冰

On the southern edge of the Taklamakan Desert in China’s Xinjiang, over 500,000 acres of roses are blooming. These drought‑ and salt‑resistant wonders both fight desertification by holding sand in place and help the locals earn a steady income.

🇨🇳 CHINA BUILT A SOLAR EMPIRE ON THE ROOF OF THE WORLD On the Tibetan Plateau, solar panels stretch farther than the eye can see - covering an area 7x the size of Manhattan. The Talatan Solar Park, plus wind and hydro, now powers everything from trains to AI data centers, while sheep still get to graze under the panels. Qinghai's clean energy is so cheap and efficient, it costs 40% less than coal, and helps China manufacture even more solar tech to sell worldwide. This is how China plans to win the future of energy: high-altitude, high-volume, and high stakes. Source: New York Times

Drone sewer inspection is a method of using drones to inspect sewer systems. Drones are equipped with cameras and other sensors that allow them to capture high-quality images and video of the inside of sewer pipes. This information can then be used to identify blockages & cracks

🚁 In Nanchang, China, drones are used to clean 2,000 m² of glass at the railway station—fast, precise, and safer than having workers climb at height. Tech in action makes life cleaner and brighter.

Bernoulli's Principle states that "fast moving fluid creates low pressure". The guy created low pressure outside with the water and air moves from high pressure to low pressure so it quickly sucked out the air from the room which creates deficiency of oxygen in the room and fire went out.

Think Solar panels are "Green"? think again. Making solar panels requires toxic chemicals, huge amounts of energy and water, and creates toxic waste. The common types (mono- and poly-crystalline panels) need extremely high heat at every stage of production. For example, temperatures of 2,700°F to 3,600°F are required just to turn sand-like silicon dioxide into usable silicon. Up to half of that silicon is then wasted when the thin wafers are cut. For every 1 megawatt of solar panels produced: About 1.4 tons of toxic chemicals are used (including hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, and hydrogen fluoride). Nearly 2,900 tons of water are needed. 8.6 tons of pollution are released—most of it from powerful greenhouse gases (SF₆, NF₃, and C₂F₆) that trap heat thousands of times more effectively than carbon dioxide. Other dangerous waste includes toxic gases like trichlorosilane and silicon tetrachloride, plus harmful dust from the cutting process. The thinner “amorphous” or thin-film solar panels are made with cadmium, a chemical known to cause cancer and damage DNA. By the end of 2016 the world already had about 250,000 tonnes of discarded solar panels. That was just 0.5 % of all electronic waste produced that year. The International Renewable Energy Agency estimates that by 2050 we could be throwing away 6 million tonnes of solar panels every single year, adding up to a total of 78 million tonnes. At that point dead solar panels could make up 10 % of all electronic waste, and the total amount of worn-out panels could be larger than all the electronic waste the world produced in 2018. Recycling is often presented as the easy fix, but it isn’t. It still uses large amounts of energy, water and other resources, and workers have to handle toxic materials that eventually need to be disposed of. Right now only two commercial recycling methods exist for solar panels, and there are just a handful of facilities that can do the job anywhere in the world. #GreenEnergy

✨🇨🇳A company in China produces mobile solar trailers. Equipped with solar panels, they charge automatically during the day. At night, they provide long-lasting lighting without needing wires or external power. These trailers are versatile for construction sites, wilderness, and emergency situations, usable wherever they go.
