Solar cells thinner than wavelengths of light hold huge power potential This schematic diagram of a thin film organic solar cell shows the top layer, a patterned, roughened scattering layer, in green. The organic thin film layer, shown in red, is where light is trapped and ...
Converting waste heat into electrical power A "forest" of molecules holds the promise of turning waste heat into electricity. Image Credit: Justin Bergfield. UA physicists have discovered a new way of harvesting waste heat and turning it into electrical power. Taking advantage of ...
Paper-thin supercapacitor has higher capacitance when twisted than any non-twisted supercapacitor (A) Using three of the new highly flexible supercapacitors arranged in series, the researchers demonstrated lighting a red LED. (B) An illustration of the flexible, all-solid-state ...
Leaf-like solar cells: Water-based 'artificial leaf' produces electricity A team led by a North Carolina State University researcher has shown that water-gel-based solar devices - "artificial leaves" - can act like solar cells to produce electricity. The findings prove the ...
Copper Nanowires Tuned Using Ion Track Templates and Electrochemical Deposition The hallmark of materials science is the ability to tailor the structure of a given material to provide a desired response. Nanomaterials with controlled structural properties are interesting for ...
Is Spent Nuclear Fuel a Waste or a Resource? On September 15, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission affirmed its expert opinion that spent nuclear fuel could be safely stored on nuclear power plant grounds whether in pools or dry casks for "at least 60 years beyond the licensed ...
Solar Manufacturing Ships Largest Vacuum Car Bottom Furnace to China SOUDERTON, Pa., Sep 16, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Solar Manufacturing announces it has shipped the largest vacuum car bottom furnace ever manufactured to Baoji Titanium Industry Co., Ltd. in Shaanxi, China. Baoji ...
New carbon nanotubes antenna could increase efficiency of photovoltaic cells This filament containing about 30 million carbon nanotubes absorbs energy from the sun as photons and then re-emits photons of lower energy, creating the fluorescence seen here. The red regions indicate ...
Home's electrical wiring acts as antenna to receive low-power sensor data If these walls had ears, they might tell a homeowner some interesting things. Like when water is dripping into an attic crawl space, or where an open window is letting hot air escape during winter. The ...
Better solar cells using mismatched alloys In what could be a step toward higher efficiency solar cells, an international team including University of Michigan professors has invalidated the most commonly used model to explain the behavior of a unique class of materials called ...
New high-sensitivity electronic skin can feel a butterfly's footsteps The sensor is sensitive enough to detect this horinea faunus butterfly placed on it. Image: L.A. Cicero Stanford researchers have developed an ultrasensitive, highly flexible, electronic sensor that can feel a ...
"Researchers develop a way to funnel solar energy is filament containing about 30 million carbon nanotubes absorbs energy from the sun as photons and then re-emits photons of lower energy, creating the fluorescence seen here. The red regions indicate highest energy intensity, and ...
The dance of hot nanoparticles Heated nanoparticles "shine" in their solvent. Image credit: Daniel Rings "Brownian motion is a very old concept," Klaus Kroy tells PhysOrg.com. "The laws explaining it were formulated more than a century ago by Albert Einstein. However, we are ...
"Scientists observe single ions moving through tiny carbon-nanotube channel For the first time, a team of MIT chemical engineers has observed single ions marching through a tiny carbon-nanotube channel. Such channels could be used as extremely sensitive detectors or as part of a ...
Solar plane plans first flights across Switzerland Solar Impulse's Chief Executive Officer and pilot Andre Borschberg flies in the solar-powered HB-SIA prototype airplane during its first successful night flight attempt at Payerne airport in July 2010. Solar Impulse, said Tuesday ...
Glasperlenspiel: Scientists propose new test for gravity A beam of laser light (red) should be able to cause a glass bead of approximately 300 nanometers in diameter to levitate, and the floating bead would be exquisitely sensitive to the effects of gravity. Moving a large heavy ...
Cheaper, better solar cell is full of holes A silver wafer reflects the face of NREL research scientist Hao-Chih Yuan, before the wafer is washed with a mix of acids. The acids etch holes, absorbing light and turning the wafer black. Credit: Dennis Schroeder A new low-cost ...
Novel nanotechnology collaboration leads to breakthrough in cancer research Structure of an adenovirus. By averaging thousands of noisy cryo-electron microscopy images (left bottom), researchers have determined the atomic structure of the human adenovirus (color). This structure ...
