Mark Twain.Sage“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”–Mark Twain Mark Twain’s quotes are some of my very favorites. […]
Super Solar Cells? Certain Nanocrystals Shown To Generate More Than One ElectronScientists have shown that carrier multiplication — when a photon creates multiple electrons — is a real phenomenon in tiny semiconductor crystals and not a false observation born of extraneous effects that mimic carrier multiplication. The research shows the possibility of solar cells that […]
Solar Energy Performance With Plastic Solar Cells Improved With New MethodScientists have engineered an approach that is leading to improved performance of plastic solar cells (hybrid organic solar cells).

Needed: Retrofit RevolutionBy Edwin BlackNow that the $787 billion stimulus package has become law, a key emphasis is “green jobs” and energy rescue. But the single most important […]
‘Major Discovery’ Primed To Unleash Solar Revolution: Scientists Mimic Essence Of Plants’ Energy Storage SystemUntil now, solar power has been a daytime-only energy source, because storing extra solar energy for later use is prohibitively expensive and grossly inefficient. Researchers have now hit upon a simple, inexpensive, highly efficient process for storing solar energy.
The Process of […]
Better Technology For Developing Plastic Solar Cells And Plastic Electronic Devices CreatedA new way to help technologists develop efficient and inexpensive plastic electronic devices, such as plastic solar cells and a new type of transistor has been developed. As the probe bobs up and down the force required to keep it oscillating at a steady […]
