Highly Efficient Solar Cells Could Result From Quantum Dot ResearchAustin TX (SPX) Jun 25, 2010 Conventional solar cell efficiency could be increased from the current limit of 30 percent to more than 60 percent, suggests new research on semiconductor nanocrystals, or quantum dots, led by chemist Xiaoyang Zhu at The University of Texas at Austin. The scientists have discovered a method to capture the higher energy sunlight that is lost as heat in conventional solar cells. The maximum efficiency of the silicon solar cell in use today is about 31 percent. That's because much of the energy ... read more |

Alberta, Canada (SPX) Jun 10, 2010The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) has said a protest against development of Canada's oil sands is a misguided attempt to promote environmental activism based on misinformation and rhetoric, not facts. "The Canadian oil and gas industry is committed to achieving an appropriate balance of what energy consumers tell us they want - environmental protection, economic growth ... more 
Helsinki (AFP) June 9, 2010A Swiss professor who developed a low-cost solar power cell using cheap materials such as dye squeezed from berries won a million-dollar technology prize in Finland on Wednesday. Michael Graetzel, 66, won the Millennium Technology award for process of "artificial photosynthesis" to capture the sun's energy without need for an elaborate manufacturing process. The so-called "Graetzel's cel ... more |
