Highly absorbing, flexible solar cells with silicon wire arrays created
| Elusive ‘hot’ electrons captured in ultra-thin solar cells Harnessing the power of “hot” electrons for solar energy has been held as a theoretical possibility. Now researchers report observing the hot electron effect in an ultra-thin solar cell for the first time and collecting the elusive charges, which are typically lost in less than one-trillionth of a second in traditional solar cells. |
| New sensor exploits traditional weakness of nano devices By taking advantage of a phenomenon that until now has been a virtual showstopper for electronics designers, scientists are developing a chemical and biological sensor with unprecedented sensitivity. |
| We Can Lead our Leader Sierra Club has started a “Be Part of the 2% Solution” Campaign. The motivation behind the campaign came from a growing consensus illustrated below: The world’s scientists agree: Global warming is real, here, and happening faster than anyone predicted. But scientists also say we can curb global warming and its consequences — if we take bold, comprehensive action now that adds up to an 80% cut in carbon emissions by 2050. That’s a do-able 2% cut a year for each of the next forty years. This seems very “do-able”! My wife and I already bike commute, we eat local and. |
| Solar Synapse Featured in Solar Industry Magazine As Seen In Solar Industry Magazine (January 2008): View The Entire Article in Solar Industry Magazine St. Louis-based Solar Night Industries (SNI) has introduced the Solar Synapse, a product, sales and marketing program designed to enhance builders’ solar plans for new homes and homeowners. The program includes marketing materials to help builders sell Solar Synapse Pre-Wire Kits - which are installed during construction to prepare a new home for adding PV solar panels - and provide post-purchase activity for the new homeowner.

| The World Bank Group and Sustainable Energy The World Bank in a Nutshell The World Bank Group is a vital source of financial and technical assistance to developing countries around the world.but what does that have to do with sustainable energy? |
| Highly absorbing, flexible solar cells with silicon wire arrays created Using arrays of long, thin silicon wires embedded in a polymer substrate, scientists have created a new type of flexible solar cell that enhances the absorption of sunlight and efficiently converts its photons into electrons. The solar cell does all this using only a fraction of the expensive semiconductor materials required by conventional solar cells. |
| The Process of Buying the Wind: Come, Follow the Crow’s Bruce and Tammy Crow of Fort Defiance Virgina recently purchased a Skystream 3.7 from us and took the time to log the entire process from the information gathering phase through to completion. Here it is. As they point out, it should answer any questions a future consumer would have. Good morning Amy I have outlined our process to inform others who may be interested in wind power. May 2007 * Gathered info on increase in real estate property values with renewable energy sources. * Info sheet on noise and decibel level of turbine system in operation. * Info sheet on. |

| Signs Of Ideal Surfing Conditions Spotted In Ocean Of Solar Wind Researchers have found what could be the signal of ideal wave “surfing” conditions for individual particles within the massive turbulent ocean of the solar wind. The discovery could give a new insight into just how energy is dissipated in solar system sized plasmas such as the solar wind and could provide significant clues to scientists developing fusion power which relies on plasmas. |
