11-02-25 Massive waves in giant magnetic holes on the surface of the Sun have been discovered for the first time by solar scientists from the University of Sheffield and Queen's University Belfast, something that will bring experts a step closer to unlocking...

11-01-21 The eyes of moths（飞蛾） , which allow them to see well at night, are also covered with a water- repellent（排斥的，防水的） , antireflective coating that makes their eyes among the least reflective surfaces in nature and helps them hide from preda...

11-01-12 The growing popularity of solar photovoltaic（光电的） (PV) systems across the United States has made it more important to maximize their power input. That's why UC San Diego environmental engineering professor Jan Kleissl is working on technologies...

11-01-04 Tuesday will see the first partial solar eclipse of 2011. 本周二将出现2011年首次日偏食景象。 Observers should NOT look directly at the Sun during this event People standing across a great swathe（带子，绷带） of the Earth's surface will see the Moon...

10-12-29 A study in HortTechnology featured a new technology that improved greenhouse climates by reducing solar heat radiation and temperatures during the hot summer season. The study, published by a team of Canadian researchers, was the first investigation...

10-12-29 As people on Earth celebrate the holidays and prepare to ring in the New Year, an ESA/NASA spacecraft has quietly reached its own milestone: on December 26, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) discovered its 2000th comet. Drawing on help f...

10-10-21 A groundbreaking new equation（方程式，等式） developed in part by researchers at the University of Michigan could do for organic semiconductors what the Shockley ideal diode（二极管） equation did for inorganic semiconductors: help to enable their...

10-10-07 A University of Delaware researcher is helping to design instruments for a robotic（机器人学） space probe that will go where no other has gone before: the sun. William Matthaeus, professor of physics and astronomy at UD, is involved in NASA's Solar...

10-09-25 A team led by a North Carolina State University researcher has shown that water-gel-based solar devices artificial leaves can act like solar cells to produce electricity. The findings prove the concept for making solar cells that more closely mimic...

10-09-19 Solar energy could be a central alternative to petroleum-based energy production. However, current solar-cell technology often does not produce the same energy yield（能量输出） and is more expensive to mass-produce. In addition, information on the...
