New Nanostructure Discovery Boosts Solar Cell Efficiency
Researchers from the Academy of Finland have discovered a new method of harnessing more of the suns radiation. They found that by coating the solar cells with nano-scale structures they could pretty much eliminate reflection losses entirely. The nanostructured black silicon coating features very low reflectiv more ...

Toxic Oil Spills Are Much More Common Than You May Think
The only oil spills that get any media coverage are the major ones that are pretty hard to ignore, or coverup. But did you know that just in the past 30 days, there have been 13 oil spills, amassing a total of 1,185,000 gallons of toxic oil? This is business as usual believe it or not - not just a fluke withi more ...
