Researchers from the University of California, Berkeley have successfully designed a more efficient solar cell that is capable both of emitting light and absorbing it. The development came after researchers examined the reasoning behind why such a large gap existed between the theoretical limit to the amount of electrical energy that can be harvested by a solar cell and the … [Read more...]
Nanoscale Phenomena with Potential for Computer Speed Advances
A team of University of Maryland scientists have discovered that when electric current is run through carbon nanotubes, objects nearby heat up while the nanotubes themselves stay cool. Understanding this completely unexpected new phenomenon could lead to new ways of building computer processors that can run at higher speeds without overheating. The researchers have dubbed the … [Read more...]
