Scientists close to achieving over 20% efficiency for dye-sensitized solar cells
Solar power may be one of the cleanest forms of energy, but affordable and efficient it is not. According to SolarPowerAuthority.com, a five-kilowat solar panel system can set you back at least $25,000, while an $18,000 system can have a payback period of approximately 20 years. Fortunately, some people are working to change that, and […]

Developers roll out new robo-bee: It can fly, swim, monitor environmental studies… AND people
When Harvard University first introduced RoboBee back in 2013, it could do little more than fly and cling to walls. Come 2018, the same research team has put out a new and improved RoboBee — one that can successfully dive into and burst out of water. The latest in a series of minuscule, flight-capable robots, […]

Silk fibers may become the secret ingredient in the next round of high tech natural “metamaterials”
Far from just being a luxurious clothing material, silk could have numerous applications in engineering and biomedicine. This was the conclusion that an international team of multi-disciplinary scientists came to in their study, published in Nature Communications. According to the investigators, the nano-architecture of silk makes it highly effective at causing “Anderson localization of light.” […]
