Photovoltaic solar energy is obtained by converting sunlight into electricity using a technology based on the photoelectric effect.
Their main purpose is to store water during off-peak periods, using it to generate energy during peak consumption periods.

The uncertainty surrounding how wind behaves is the main handicap when building a wind farm, especially in places with a complex orography. Where and how can wind turbines be installed to maximise the production of wind power? Supercomputing has the answer.
Biotechnology is not a new discipline, but it is advancing by leaps and bounds and it has more and more applications in our day-to-day lives: from pharmaceutical development to food production and the treatment of polluting waste. We explore this exciting field below and try to determine how far it might go in the future.
