Solar excitement: Modeling electron excitation in organic photovoltaic material could change the future of solar energy.
Original story at MIT News Organic photovoltaic material offers great promise for solar energy. The semi-conducting plastic is lightweight, flexible, relatively inexpensive, and easy to make. The problem is that, unlike inorganic photovoltaic material, it is not very efficient or stable. But work by Adam Willard, an assistant professor in the Department of Chemistry at MIT, has the potential to ...

The solar researchers aiming to light up Africa
Can a new network of African solar researchers lead the way on solar power for the continent? Christine Ottery finds out. It was a surprise to Daniel Egbe to discover, at a 2010 conference in Tunisia, that two of his colleagues, both solar researchers from Africa, were not acquainted. So the Cameroonian scientist introduced Teketel Yohannes, a professor at Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia, to ...
