Israel and China Build Israel's Biggest Solar Power Plant

Israel China solar power image

This week, Israel’s biggest solar power station was inaugurated in Katsrin, a place otherwise known for its archaeological sites. Generating 85,000 KWH per year, the power station represents a milestone in Israel’s adoption of alternative energy, which until now had hardly been a soaring success. But it also represents something else: A partnership between Israel and China.

The power plant was built with joint cooperation between Israel’s Solar-It Doral company and China’s Suntech Power Holdings Co., Ltd., a listed company in the NYSE, specializing in photovoltaics.

The power station has been integrated into Israel’s national grid and will be accompanied by incentives for consumers.

State officials of both countries have expressed hope that cooperation between Israel and China in renewable energies will continue. Suntech, for its part, is planning to build another solar power plant in southern Israel.

Ancient Chinese medicine might heal spinal cord injuries

In the study, the scientists didn’t just test one plant compound at a time. They tested two traditional Chinese medicine compounds together — luteolin (from flowers like honeysuckle and chrysanthemum) and astragaloside IV (from astragalus root, Huang Qi).

China is one step closer to making artificial sun

Nuclear fusion is often described as the holy grail of clean energy: a process that could one day provide abundant power without carbon emissions or long-lived radioactive waste. It has so much promise, but it's difficult. This article on fusion explains why. But turning fusion into a practical energy source depends on solving a set of extremely difficult physics problems. One of the most important is how to keep plasma — a super-hot, electrically charged gas — dense, stable, and confined long enough to produce useful energy.
