Polymer Solar Cells With Higher Efficiency Levels CreatedCurrently solar cells are difficult to handle, expensive to purchase and complicated to install. The hope is that consumers will one day be able to buy solar cells from their local hardware store and simply hang them like posters on a wall. A recent study has shown that […]
Spin Battery: Physicist Develops Battery Using New Source Of EnergyScientists have been able to prove the existence of a “spin battery,” a battery that is “charged” by applying a large magnetic field to nano-magnets in a device called a magnetic tunnel junction. The electrical current made in this process is called a spin polarized current […]
50,000 Eyes on Modern Energy!We love people like Western Michigan University professor John Patten. People motivated by producing “clean, green, energy”. John mentioned this as his main motivator when spending $10,000 of his own money on a 45 foot Skystream 3.7 for the university’s campus. Well done professor! But, what I love about it is […]
