Tiny solar-panel-like cells help restore sight to the blindSun, 13 May 2012 14:46:46 EDTUsing tiny solar-panel-like cells surgically placed underneath the retina, scientists have devised a system that may someday restore sight to people who have lost vision because of certain types of degenerative eye diseases.
Solar power to dye for: Flexible lightweight inexpensive dyes could harvest energy from sunThu, 10 May 2012 11:37:37 EDTFlexible, lightweight and inexpensive dyes could be used to harvest the power of the sun rather than our relying on costly and fragile semiconductor solar panel that use crystalline silicon, new research suggests.
Optimal planning of solar power plantsThu, 10 May 2012 10:00:00 EDTThe photovoltaics industry is booming, and the market for solar farms is growing quickly all over the world. Yet, the task of planning PV power plants to make them as effi cient as possible is far from trivial. Researchers have now developed software that simplifies conceptual design.
Use of public and private dollars for scaling up clean energy needs a reality check, say scholarsTue, 01 May 2012 16:27:27 EDTIn a post-Solyndra, budget-constrained world, the transition to a decarbonized energy system faces great hurdles. Overcoming these hurdles will require smarter and more focused policies. Two writers outline their visions in a pair of high-profile analyses.
