On Monday, "Sunrise" began its roughly five-day passage over the Arctic Circle. The solar telescope with a 1.1 meter aperture contains a mirror substrate made of the zero expansion glass ceramic "Zerodur" from SCHOTT. Lightweight structures made it possible to reduce the weight of the mirror substrate by around 85 percent.
FRT, a trusted partner for industry-proven metrological surface measuring systems, presents a new optical film thickness measuring tool at this year's Laser 2009 in Munich. The new MicroSpy FT non-destructively measures coatings that transparent or semi-transparent in the visible and near-infrared spectrum of light.
The Electronics + Biotech profit center at SCHOTT is now launching a variety of glasses that the company calls "eco Glass" that are manufactured without adding arsenic and antimony as refining agents during the...
Sunflowers track the sun as it moves from east to west. But people usually have to convert sunlight into electricity or heat to put its power to use. Now, a team of University of Florida chemists is the latest to report a new mechanism to transform light straight into motion – albeit at a very, very, very tiny scale.
Delivering a major step forward in sustainable solar power, Malibu today launched the world's first thin-film solar module factory that completely eliminates the use of nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), a greenhouse gas with a significant global warming potential, from the manufacturing process.
Add the search for economical, long-lasting, brighter lights that use less energy to the list of energy topics occupying the attention of West Virginia University scientists and engineers.
SCHOTT Solar, a leading photovoltaics manufacturer, entered into a 3 year research partnership with IMEC, Europe's leading independent nanoelectronics research center. SCHOTT Solar joins IMEC's newly launched silicon photovoltaics industrial affiliation program (IIAP).
Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited (NYSE: YGE) ("Yingli Green Energy"), one of the world's leading vertically integrated photovoltaic ("PV") product manufacturers, the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands ("ECN"), a leading solar research center in Europe, and Amtech Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: ASYS) ("Amtech"), a global supplier of production and automation systems and related supplies for the manufacture of solar cells, today announced a three-party research collaboration agreement to develop next generation high efficiency solar cells.
Sleep disturbances increase as we age. Some studies report more than half of seniors 65 years of age or older suffer from chronic sleep disturbances. Researchers have long believed that the sleep disturbances common among the elderly often result from a disruption of the body's circadian rhythms-biological cycles that repeat approximately every 24 hours.
Solar electricity has a future: It is renewable and available in unlimited quantities, and it does not produce any gases detrimental to the climate. Its only drawback right now is the price: the electric power currently being produced by solar cells in northern Europe must be subsidized if it is to compete against the household electricity generated by traditional power plants.
