A group led by Seth Aubin, assistant professor of physics at William & Mary, is putting finishing touches on an apparatus that will chill atoms to near absolute zero. At these low temperatures, the quantum nature of atoms takes over and they begin to follow a different set of physical laws. Atoms normally move about according to classical Newtonian physics; however, under … [Read more...]
Wire Grid Cools Light Emitting Diodes
Ventiva has come up with a wire grid that effectively cools light emitting diodes, solid state lights and other electronic components in a way that can be considered both active and passive. A small charge is applied to some of the wires in Ventiva's mesh, which creates ions in the localized atmosphere. The ions begin to move and push against molecules in the air, which in turn … [Read more...]
Invention Speeds Solar Cell Quality Tests
Three scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory have developed a way to assess the quality of solar cells at a speed that is orders of magnitude faster than had been done before. The instrument, Real-time QE, licensed and embellished by Tau Science Corp. as FlashQE™, uses light-emitting diodes, high-speed electronics and mathematical … [Read more...]
