Marrying models with experiments to build extra reliable solar cells
In a single day, enough sunlight strikes Earth to power the globe for a whole year-- that is, if we can locate a means to capture that energy cheaply and also effectively. While the price of solar energy has actually decreased substantially, current silicon-based solar cells are costly and energy-intensive to make, motivating scientists to search for alternatives.

Scientists discover innovative approach to make novel lithium-ion battery materials
Scientists at Boise State University have actually developed a new approach to making novel lithium-ion battery materials. Starting from an amorphous (i.e., a material lacking long-range order) niobium oxide, the group found that the very act of cycling the material with lithium induces a transformation to a novel crystalline Nb2O5 anode with phenomenal Li storage space and fast biking. This process can possibly be made use of to make various other lithium-ion battery materials that can not be quickly made via traditional means.
