    New protein process in E. coli could lead to more efficient options for ‘tiniest of factories’ While the bacteria E. coli is often considered a bad bug, researchers commonly use laboratory-adapted E. coli that lacks the features that can make humans sick, but can grow just as fast. That same quality allows it to transform […]

  • Stanford technology makes metal wires on solar cells nearly invisible to light

    November 26, 2015 Editor 0

    A solar cell is basically a semiconductor, which converts sunlight into electricity, sandwiched between metal contacts that carry the electrical current. But this widely used design has a flaw: The shiny metal on top of the cell actually reflects sunlight away from the semiconductor where electricity is produced, reducing the cell’s efficiency. Now, Stanford University […]
