Risen Energy’s mass-produced heterojunction modules have reached a cell conversion efficiency of 26.61%, a record figure for ...

A new material developed at Penn State defies a fundamental law of physics, opening doors to highly efficient solar cells.

Kinetic and nonkinetic contributions to the Tafel slope value can be separated using a Tafel slope plot, where a constant Tafel slope region indicates kinetic meaningfulness. Here, we compare the ...

This paper presents an impact-induced frequency up-conversion piezoelectric energy harvester (FUC-PEH) to improve low-frequency output performance. The FUC-PEH includes a high-frequency piezoelectric ...

Compressed sensing based data gathering is in-efficient in small scale wireless sensor networks because of uncorrelated observations at the sink. Failure to exploit the low rank and suitable transform ...
