Generating power from darkness
A new “anti-solar panel” could be able to bridge the gap left by solar energy, collecting energy from the night sky. The thermoelectric generator-based device, developed by a team of researchers at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, harnesses the variance in temperature between Earth and outer space, by using “a passive cooling mechanism known as radiative sky cooling to maintain the cold side of a thermoelectric generator several degrees below ambient” according to the researchers study, published in the scientific journal Joule.  https://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Solar-Energy/This-Anti-Solar-Panel-Could-Generate-Power-From-Darkness.html

Local Partnership is Encouraging the Next Generation of Space Scientists
Gilmour Space and USQ are no stranger to collaboration in space, having engaged with the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), among others, on separate projects over the years. However, it is notable that this local partnership will result in innovative space research and development activities in Queensland. USQ and Gilmour Space, along with other national and international partners, are developing STEM related activities to encourage and train the next generation of space scientists and engineers. https://www.amgc.org.au/news/joining-forces-to-reach-for-the-stars/
