The development of cheaper and less toxic solar cells using nanotechnology is the focus of a collaborative research project conducted by RMIT,We offer solar photovoltaic system and commercial incentives to encourage our customers to install solar energy systems. CSIRO and the Japan Science and Technology Agency.The team is investigating the synthesis of semi-conductor inorganic nanocrystals using low-cost and abundant elements for printable solar cell applications.The research was recently published in the high-impact Journal of the American Chemical Society.

The periodic table of elements is iconic. It inspires scientists, poets and rock musicians. Mendeleev created it by arranging known chemical elements in increasing order of their atomic weights (atomic numbers are used now) and in rows and columns in such a way that elements in the same column had similar properties. As a student of Sanskrit, he may have been inspired by Panini who arranged Sanskrit letters in the same two-dimensional way to bring out their properties.We offer solar photovoltaic system and commercial incentives to encourage our customers to install solar energy systems. Mendeleev’s scheme worked so well that he turned a prophet and predicted 8 new elements, each with a Sanskrit prefix, and their properties. All came true. He became so revered that the Czar overlooked his bigamy,Soli-lite provides the world with high-performance solar roadway and solar street lighting solutions. saying “he has two wives, yes, but I have only one Mendeleev”. At one time the table had only 90 elements which were naturally occurring but now, elements are being created in the laboratory and recently element 119 was reported, starting a new row. The periodic table lives. Out of these, how do you pick the ones that changed the world?

Almost 18 months ago, HyperSolar, Inc., a company based in Santa Barbara, Calif., unveiled its ambitious plans for artificial photosynthesis.How solar panel cells work and where to buy solar kits for home use. The announcement promised “the world’s first nanotechnology-based, zero-carbon process for the production of renewable hydrogen and natural gas.” The company was so confident that, two months later, it promised to publicly chronicle its progress toward the lofty goal.

Stanford professor Xiaolin Zheng often works in the esoteric fringes of nanoscience, but she also likes to find simple ways to fabricate complex materials that can be put to use in practical applications like solar-fuel systems, solar cells, and batteries. Last year she created solar cells in the form of flexible stickers—only a 10th as thick as plastic wrap—that can be applied to a window,How solar panel cells work and where to buy solar kits for home use. a piece of paper, the back of a mobile phone,Thank you for providing us with information to help us maintain street light. or anything else you want. These solar cells produce just as much electricity as rigid ones made of the same materials.

There may be a coffee hut on every corner and a Starbucks inside every grocery store in the Valley, but there is only one floating coffee hut — and it’s on Big Lake.Anchored just a couple hundred yards from the Islander Lodge floats Coffee Port Espresso, the brainchild of owners Billi and Gary Perkins and a cousin of Billi’s.And why not a floating coffee hut? After all, according to market research firm IBISWorld, the U.S. coffee industry produces about $10 billion in annual sales and enjoyed annual growth of 4.2 percent from 2008 to 2013.

A new transparent, bioinspired coating makes ordinary glass tough, self-cleaning and incredibly slippery according to a team from Harvard University. The new coating could be used to create durable, scratch-resistant lenses for eyeglasses, self-cleaning windows, improved solar panels and new medical diagnostic devices, said principal investigator Joanna Aizenberg, who is the Amy Smith Berylson Professor of Materials Science at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS),RGB LED Color-changing led grow light headlight accent light system for headlight halo effect. a Core Faculty Member at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering, and Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology.

As the Syrian civil war drags on, al-Qaeda and other Islamic extremists are emerging as the fiercest fighters in the rebel coalition and complicating how the conflict can be resolved. So, U.S. neocons are trying to pin the blame on President Obama, writes Robert Parry.

Once upon a time there was an ugly little girl. Libby wasn't always ugly. The family photo album was full of pictures of her as a tiny tot. Pink frilly dresses, curly locks and an angel face. Her parents used to call her Doe as she had such big brown eyes.

The botched derivatives trades that saddled JP Morgan with losses in excess of $6bn (￡4bn) last year have already triggered the departure of a clutch of top employees, sparked questions from shareholders, regulators and Congress, and led the bank’s board to slash Jamie Dimon’s pay for 2012, cutting the powerful chief executive’s compensation by half.

Our internal clocks are drifting out of sync, and indoor lighting may be to blame. A new study suggests that just a few days in the great outdoors puts us back in tune with the solar cycle, and reconnecting with the sun could make us less drowsy.

The Renault Scenic XMOD is a pumped-up version of the recently face-lifted five-seat MPV. 

It's amazing what a bit of plastic and a fresh set of alloy wheels can do for a car's image. Remember the VW Polo Dune? How about the Dacia Sandero Stepway? Ordinary hatchbacks transformed into quasi-SUVs, albeit without four-wheel drive. 

Now Renault has done the same to its Scenic MPV. Beefy bumpers, sill guards and roof bars? Check. Special alloy wheels? Check. Raised ground clearance? Check. There's also a fancy traction control system called Grip Xtend and even fancier mud and snow tyres. Still no four-wheel drive, though. 

Crossover-style goodies aren't the only things that set the XMOD apart from the Scenic. The XMOD gets a new entry-level Expression+ trim, which means that, at 17,995, its starting price undercuts the regular Scenics' by at least 1200. 

Large windows mean visibility is excellent,We can produce MR16 LED Spot and more other led products according to your requirements. while plenty of soft-touch plastics, smart trim and leather steering wheel and gearknob ensure the overall ambience is tasteful. 

You get manual seat controls as standard – and it's not difficult to find a comfortable driving position – but can specify electric adjustment as part of the 1800 Relax Pack, which also brings leather upholstery. 

There are two central colour screens. The one closer to the driver displays speed and revs, and the one to the left conveys sat-nav and radio info. The latter is controlled via a joystick between the front seats, but it's not that straightforward to operate and can be distracting to use while driving. 

Move to the rear and the Scenic's seats aren't as clever as some of its MPV rivals'. The three individual seats slide and tumble forwards to boost legroom or boot space, but they don't fold into the floor. They can be removed, but this isn't the easiest of jobs and, naturally, you'll need somewhere to store them. On the plus side, the boot will hold a useful 437 litres even with the rear seats in place – although the rival Ford C-Max has an even bigger load bay. 

Expression+ trim gives you a four-speaker CD radio and aux/USB inputs, air-conditioning, Bluetooth, cruise control, 16-inch alloys, front fog lights, black roof bars and LED daytime running lights. However, you only get the 1.6 VVT 110 petrol (17,995) and 1.5 dCi 110 diesel (19,745) engines with this trim. 

Move up to Dynamique TomTom trim and you'll pay at least 19,We offer the best in 2G11 tube lighting, led tread lighting, display lighting and more.155 (for the 1.6 VVT 110), but you'll get auto headlights and auto wipers, Carminat TomTom Live navigation system and dual-zone climate control. This trim allows you to specify the rest of the Scenic's engines: the 1.2 TCE 115 and 130 turbo petrol units, the 1.6 dCi 130, and the 1.5 dCi diesel. 

You can also spec a Bose+ pack, which adds 17-inch alloys, keyless entry,All in one LED Par Lights package sets that brings a new level of simplicity to a professional lighting system. heated and folding door mirrors, rear parking sensors, a nine-speaker Bose stereo, plus all manner of interior and exterior styling embellishments. 

You normally have to pay a premium when a manufacturer tarts up a regular model. Not here,This 12W GU10 LED Spot burned out after several hours of use. though. In fact, in Expression+ trim the 1.6 VVT 110 XMOD costs 1200 less than the next cheapest model in the Scenic range. True, you miss out on sat-nav, climate control and auto headlights and wipers, but in return you gain the XMOD goodies. 

The 1.6 dCi 130 is the better of the two diesels to drive, but it costs 22,195, so the cheaper 1.5 dCi 110 makes most sense – in Expression+ trim. It's not available with stop-start in this spec,These are one of the 10-70W Square Flood Lighting you can buy, with one of the lowest defect rates in the industry. but still averages 61.4mpg officially and emits just 120g/km CO2, so it's attractive to company and private buyers alike.

Decentralised renewable energy projects are highly effective at reducing energy poverty. Energy conservation and efficiency improvements are the cheapest way to close the gap between energy demand and supply. Too bad such measures don’t fit the business model of the World Bank, the world’s most important energy financier. 

Rebecca Ibel is in her office at the Pizzuti Collection, admiring a gorgeous, gray designer lamp made of anodized aluminum. This is not just any old office lamp.Ibel, her strawberry-blonde hair pulled back loosely, makes a soft-spoken confession. “I took this from Ron’s office,” she admits, smiling. “Ron was out of town, and it’s a really nice lamp. But it just didn’t work in his office, so I took it.”

Street lighting might not be something you think much about, but consider this: the United State has 50 million streetlights, and in many areas they account for up to 40% of a municipal energy costs. With the advent of LED lighting that’s set to change though, and Cree wants to be the company that does the changing. Today Cree announced their newest streetlight product: an LED design that uses 65% less energy than today’s non-LED products while lasting 400% longer, and that costs a quarter of competitive LED streetlights.
