Induction Coil An induction coil (sometimes known as a “spark coil”) is a type of electrical transformer that generates high-voltage pulses from a low-voltage direct current (DC)…
A New Global Benchmark for CIGS Solar Cells Uppsala University now holds the global record for electrical energy generation using CIGS solar cells. The new world record stands at 23.64 percent efficiency. An…
Crop Plant Asexual Propagation becomes more Feasible When female gametes in plants become fertilized, a signal from the sperm initiates cell division, resulting in the creation of new plant seeds. This activation…
Inflatable Building An inflatable building is a structure comprised of two layers of membrane joined together, often using spars of the same material. These structures are often…
Palaeogeography – a study of historical geography Palaeogeography (or paleogeography) is the study of historical geography, primarily physical landscapes. It may also involve the study of human or cultural contexts. It entails…
Physicists Build more Effective Solar Cells Paderborn University physicists used complicated computer simulations to create a novel design for solar cells that are substantially more efficient than prior models. Tetracene, a…
Potassium Depletion in Soils Threatens Global Agriculture Yields Potassium deficiency in agricultural soils is a mostly unknown but potentially substantial threat to global food security if not addressed, according to new research conducted…
Scientists create an Ultra-thin, Minimally Invasive Pacemaker Operated by Light A team of researchers has created a wireless gadget driven by light that can be implanted to control cardiovascular or brain function in the body.…
Geodynamics – a subfield of geophysics Geodynamics is a subject of geophysics that studies the dynamics of the Earth. It aims to comprehend the forces, processes, and movements that change the…
Electrical Resonance – in the electric circuit Electrical resonance occurs in an electric circuit at a specific resonant frequency when the impedances or admittances of circuit elements cancel out. It refers to…
Acoustic Resonance Acoustic resonance occurs when an acoustic system amplifies sound waves with frequencies that match one of its own natural vibration frequencies (its resonance frequencies). It…
Developing a Covering for Disease-free Produce Texas A&M researchers use food-grade wax and essential oils to protect vegetables from pathogens. Dr. Mustafa Akbulut, a chemical engineering professor, has collaborated with horticultural…
