Here’s the bird’s eye view on science this week: Electrical impulses boost the brain’s self-repair mode Electrical brain stimulation — used to treat certain mental disorders — could complement current and limited rehabilitation methods after a stroke. Research shows this method can create new ‘paths’ that help the brain regain lost skills. Read the full Digest>> This is the way CO2 could put more food on the table

Do you like tomatoes? If not tomatoes then probably you like tomato ketchup? We use tomatoes in so many food items daily, in fact most of the dishes contain tomatoes. What if someone told you that tomatoes could also be used in solar cells? Lycopene, a pigment found specifically in…

Scientists find a simple way to produce heterolayer coordination nanosheets, expanding the diversity of 2D materials. Molecular 2D materials find immense applications in materials science, owing to their wide structural variety and easy controllability. Establishing a simple and efficient method for their synthesis is, therefore, important. Now, scientists from Japan…

Scientists demonstrate the relationship between optoelectronic performance and size uniformity in perovskite colloidal quantum dots Perovskite colloidal quantum dots (Pe-CQDs) are highly promising nanocrystals for optoelectronic applications. However, the size of the crystals should ideally be equal to ensure a consistent energy landscape. In a recent study, scientists clarified the…

What are you currently working on or worked on before? Currently, I am studying a novel solar cell material -metal halide perovskites- using computer simulations. Particularly, I am developing advanced models where we can describe molecular level events -such as nucleation and crystal growth- with better accuracy. What encouraged you to pursue your research topic? I am always passionate about cleaner energy solutions. Despite the long history of…

Solar panels. Your environmentalist friend has them on top of her house, the preppy school in your city has them lining their roofs, and I’m sure when you were younger you wanted a build-your-own solar panel toy. We’ve all seen em. We all know they help the environment and lower…

Planning to go off-the-grid with a residential solar energy system in your home? To fully understand more about solar energy and renewable energy, and what the future holds for it, it’s good to learn more about the history of solar energy. This article delves deeper into solar energy’s fascinating history. Solar Energy Down The Ages …

It’s a scorching summer day, I’m sure you’re familiar. You open your window at 7 in the morning and there’s already heat radiating through the glass. You sit around and watch TV for a little as the light seeps and the sun rises, so you almost instantly scoot away from…
