Unlock stock picks and a broker-level newsfeed that powers Wall Street. First Solar and SolarEdge Shares Are Soaring, What You Need To Know Kayode Omotosho Tue, Apr 22, 2025, 2:27 PM 3 min read In This Article: FSLR -0.80% SEDG +1.04% A number of stocks jumped in the morning session after solar stocks rebounded as the US Commerce Department revealed plans to impose tariffs of up to 3,521% on solar panels imported from Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam. What this does is shake up the whole low-cost supply chain that a lot of solar installers and developers have been relying on. Suddenly, importing those panels would be way more expensive, which makes domestically produced panels a lot more attractive. For US solar manufacturers, this represented a major competitive boost, as higher import costs could lead to increased market share and pricing power. For investors, the rally reflected expectations of stronger revenues and profitability for American solar companies as the industry...

Second, Amazon's Big Spring Sale has ended.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology Senior Madison Wang, a double major in creative writing and chemistry , developed her passion for writing in middle school. Her interest in chemistry fit nicely alongside her commitment to producing engaging narratives.Wang believes that world-building in stories supported by science and research can make for a more immersive reader experience."In science and in writing, you have to tell an effective story," she says. "People respond well to stories."A native of Buffalo, New York, Wang applied early action for admission to MIT and learned quickly that the Institute was where she wanted to be. "It was a really good fit," she says. "There was positive energy and vibes, and I had a great feeling overall."The power of science and good storytelling"Chemistry is practical, complex, and interesting," says Wang. "It's about quantifying natural laws and understanding how reality works."Chemistry and writing both help us "see the world's irregularity," she c...
Earth's atmosphere is much more sensitive to ripples of radiation from the sun than scientists previously believed, new research by Queen's University Belfast has found. Solar flares, which are sudden and intense bursts of energy from the sun's magnetic field, happen regularly.Understanding how they impact the Earth's atmosphere is important as very powerful flares can cause inaccuracies in GPS systems and, in extreme cases, can cause total radio blackouts, where all signal is lost.The Queen's researchers have been analyzing a powerful solar flare that occurred in 2012, and for the first time, they found that pulsations within the flare and Earth's atmosphere were pulsing in sync. The research is published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics.Aisling O'Hare, a Ph.D. student in the School of Mathematics and Physics, led the study. She explains, "Using a space based satellite, we detected rhythmic pulses from the sun every 90 seconds. We also analyzed the changes in the...
Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr. Inquirer file photoMANILA, Philippines More Filipino consumers may gain access to cheaper rice after the Department of Agriculture (DA) said it may expand its P20 per kilo rice program beyond the Visayas, said Agriculture Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr.What we are thinking now is since we really need to dispose or move out the NFA (National Food Authority) stocks in the warehouse, we might include those areas but it is not final yet, Tiu Laurel said in a radio interview with dzRH over the weekend.Those who joined the P33 NFA rice program, we will probably include them. There are takers, some from Luzon, some from the Visayas [and] some from Mindanao, he added.READ: Comelec exempts P20/kilo rice scheme from spending banBased on the NFAs tally, participating local governments have bought 12,900 bags of rice from them. These are San Juan and Navotas in Metro Manila, as well as Cotabato, Camarines Sur, Isabela, Palayan City in Nuev...
A team of international astronomers have embarked on an exciting new project to hunt for planets forming around young stars. The exoALMA project, using the powerful Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, is peering into the dusty disks where planets are born. Thanks to newly developed advanced imaging techniques, exoALMA has revealed the most exquisite images of young solar systems, never before seen by astronomers. This research project involved 17 papers published in a special issue of the Astrophysical Journal of Letters, with several more coming this summer. ALMA is supported in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation through the NSF National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NSF NRAO).The new approaches weve developed to gather this data and images are like switching from reading glasses to high-powered binocularsthey reveal a whole new level of detail in these planet-forming systems, said Richard Teague, PI of the exoALMA project. Were seeing evidence...
Apple is stepping up its audio gamefinally. While last years refresh of the AirPods Max looked minor on the surface, the addition of USB-C support turns out to have been a precursor to something far more significant. Starting next month, Apple will roll out a software update that introduces lossless audio and ultra-low latency playback to its over-ear headphones, specifically the updated USB-C version of the AirPods Max.For audiophiles, content creators, and gamers alike, this update is more than a feature bumpits a signal that Apple is starting to take high-resolution wireless audio seriously. And although competitors have offered similar sound quality for a while now, Apples approach brings something unique to the table: the company is positioning AirPods Max not just as listening devices, but as tools for music production.High-Resolution Audio, Delivered WirelesslyApples update brings support for 24-bit, 48 kHz lossless audioa file format that maintains a tracks full fidelit...
