Corning Incorporated today announced that its board of directors recently approved a capital expenditure of approximately $180 million to expand the company’s Harrodsburg, Ky., manufacturing facility.
It's a problem that materials scientists have considered for years: how does a material composed of more than one phase evolve when heated to a temperature that will allow atoms to move? In many cases, a rod-like pha...
Stanford engineers have figured out how to simultaneously use the light and heat of the sun to generate electricity in a way that could make solar power production more than twice as efficient as existing methods and potentially cheap enough to compete with oil.
Like an ice cube on a warm day, most materials melt — that is, change from a solid to a liquid state — as they get warmer. But a few oddball materials do the reverse: They melt as they get cooler. Now a team of researchers at MIT has found that silicon, the most widely used material for computer chips and solar cells, can exhibit this strange property of “retrograde melting” when it contains high concentrations of certain metals dissolved in it.
Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc., a developer of state of the art flexible thin-film solar modules, announced today that its packaging solution for flexible monolithically integrated CIGS modules has successfully passed a critical environmental testing milestone.
DuPont is collaborating with the Hongkong Electric Co., Ltd. (HK Electric), a major power utility company in Hong Kong, to support the building and operation of the largest thin film photovoltaic rooftop project in Hong Kong.
MTM®45-1 epoxy resin based carbon fibre prepregs manufactured by Advanced Composites Group (ACG), have been used in a number of formats by QinetiQ to manufacture the wing and fuselage frames for its record-breaking Zephyr solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
Sulfurcell GmbH, one of the leading manufacturers of CIS thin-film solar modules, has concluded supply agreements with new customers in India and China in excess of 16 megawatts (MW).
Rows of tiny raised blowfly corneas may be the key to easy manufacturing of biomimetic surfaces, surfaces that mimic the properties of biological tissues, according to a team of Penn State researchers.
The Pennsylvania NanoMaterials Commercialization Center recently announced that it has provided $450,000 in funding to five companies located throughout the state of Pennsylvania in its seventh round of awards.
