Particles Could Enable Tougher Encryption
Aug 1, 2008 — As we search for ways to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, solar cells have become ever more attractive. However, existing solar cells do not convert solar energy to electricity as efficiently as they could. A type of material called “quantum dots” could enable more productive solar energy conversion. Quantum dots are infinitesimal particles. All of them shine brightly, but those made of lead sulfide and lead selenide can be chemically synthesized also to emit light at infrared...
Think Green
Aug 1, 2008 — Just in time for the Olympics, one of the world’s largest LED displays has arrived in Beijing, and it’s also one of the world’s most environmentally friendly because the sun powers the entire display. New York architecture firm Simone Giostra...
Building Better Solar Cells with Cameras
