Find out how solar cells power a good portion of homes today—and how they might power almost everything in the future.

OxStu explores how the structure of glass makes it ubiquitous in everyday life and why we are still exploring its use.

The second-generation solar cells, currently in the initial phases of market implementation, utilize thin-film technologies and can be classified into three primary types: (1) amorphous ... is based ...

amorphous silicon carbide (a-SiC). Beyond ... Anything made out of plastic or glass is known as an amorphous material. Unlike many materials that freeze into crystalline solids, the atoms and ...

This type of silicon has an irregular or amorphous crystal structure, which means it doesn't really have any repeating or lattice-like arrangement, even on the microscopic scale. Spacecraft often ...

We investigate several structural models representative of various defective structures ... crystal [–605 meV (30), when computed at the same level of theory]. This finding is consistent with the ...

The value of the integral plasma luminosity was also recorded using a DET10A2 silicon photodetector (Thorlabs ... biomacromolecules The effect of Se nanoparticles with amorphous and crystalline ...

Amorphous silicon carbide is therefore particularly suitable for ... but their projected performance relies on having perfect crystal structures with no defects (including edge defects). Additionally, ...

“These are termed as “crystalline ... the films of amorphous silicon carbide on a silicon substrate and suspending them, they leveraged the geometry of the nanostrings to induce high tensile forces.
