Solar cells of the future may look totally black to the human eye because they absorb light so efficiently. That's the promise of new research from an interdisciplinary team at the University of Virginia being funded by a new U.Va. Collaborative Sustainable Energy Seed Grant worth about $30,000.
A Michigan State University
researcher and his students have developed a nanomaterial that makes plastic
stiffer, lighter and stronger and could result in more fuel-efficient airplanes
and cars.

Instruments Inc. announced that during the recently completed second
quarter the Company received a multi-unit order for its TurboDisc K-475 As/P
(arsenic phosphide) metal organic chemical vapor (MOCVD) deposition systems
from the world's leading manufacturer of space solar
cells and panels.
Costing only 10~20% as its silicon counterparts,
the new dye sensitized solar cell devices might make it affordable for much more people to utilize solar
energy, a handy renewable energy source.
Researchers have overcome a major obstacle in producing transistors from networks
of carbon nanotubes, a technology that could make it possible to print circuits
on plastic sheets for applications including flexible displays and an electronic
skin to cover an entire aircraft.
Applied Materials held a groundbreaking for an expansion project of its Tainan Manufacturing Center. This expansion, with a total investment estimated at around US$17 million, will increase the company's ability to m...
