Indian Scientists Develop Energy-Storing Material That Changes Color

Researchers have developed a novel “smart oxide” material that can both store energy and visually indicate its level of charge, marking a significant advance in next-generation energy storage technologies.   The material, based on transition metal oxides, combines the functions of a battery and a display system. As it charges and discharges, the oxide undergoes changes linked to electrochromism, causing it to shift color in direct proportion to the amount of stored energy.   In practical terms, the material can appear transparent or lightly colored when discharged and turn darker—often…

India Achieves Record Electricity Supply Amid Surging Demand

India successfully met its highest-ever peak electricity demand of around 256 gigawatts (GW) without any major shortage, marking a significant milestone in the country’s power sector. The record demand was recorded on April 25 amid an intense heatwave sweeping across several regions, which sharply increased the use of cooling appliances such as air conditioners and coolers.   Despite the surge, the national grid managed to supply the full demand during peak daytime hours, reflecting improved capacity and better grid management. The achievement was supported by a strong contribution from renewable…
