Date Time Analytical Measurements Can Predict Organic Solar Cell Stability North Carolina State University-led researchers have developed an analytical measurement “framework” which could allow organic solar cell researchers and manufacturers to determine which materials will produce the most stable solar cells prior to manufacture. Organic solar cells have increased in efficiency over the past decades, but researchers and manufacturers still struggle with determining which material combina...

THE first trading week of 2021 has been a volatile one for Bursa Malaysia. Across the stock market, decliners have been thrashing advancers each day of the first trading week. The FBM KLCI slipped below the 1,600-point level by mid-week, although it recouped losses thanks to the 30.24-point push yesterday. Apart from the ongoing political concerns, the key reason for the volatile week was regulated short selling (RSS) activities, which returned after the temporary suspension was lifted from Jan...

BEIJING, Jan. 8 (Xinhua) -- Chinese scientists have found a gene that plays a crucial role in helping rice adapt to low soil nitrogen and may be used to breed h

Date Time Battery Up: PNNL Runs Bases with Industry, Academia to Boost Batteries Battery experts at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and four heavy hitters from industry and academia have formed partnerships this past year designed to advance battery materials and processes. In June 2020, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Advanced Manufacturing Office and Vehicle Technologies Office, under the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, requested that the nationa...

Pandemic challenges highlight needed shift in engineering research As communities across the United States struggle to manage a wave of COVID-19 infections, a multidisciplinary team of researchers argue that the pandemic has revealed the ways in which engineered structures and services have contributed to society’s challenges. They subsequently insist that the built environment – including both engineered structures and services – cannot be ignored when developing long-term pandemic mitig...

The trend away from sedans and wagons—and toward SUVs and trucks—has certainly had an effect.

SHARING OPTIONS: The five-star flock had a higher scanning rate and higher lamb survival rate than their one-star counterparts, resulting in an additional 36 lambs being weaned. Recent analysis conducted by Sheep Ireland and Teagasc has found that five-star sheep are outperforming their one-star counterparts. The five-star animals are producing more lambs and these lambs are performing better, all while being more environmentally friendly. The analysis wa...

The solar cell was developed by Korean scientists for power-generating window applications. They built the device with transparent conducting oxide (TCO) rear contacts and a textured polydimethylsiloxane
