A team at Princeton University discovered that folding the solar panels causes a dramatic increase in power. Studies show that there is a 47% increase in power from these new folded solar panels. These folds channel the light directly into the  photo voltaic material. The scientists at Princeton got this idea from folding a leaf. Flat surfaces absorb some light but [...]

Nanoparticles are extremely small for human beings to see them, however it is becoming possible for today’s scientists. They can not only to see them, but also to look inside at how the atoms are arranged in three dimensions unsing a technique, which is called nanocrystallography. Nevertheless, this powerful machines are only available at a handful of [...]

Physicists at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics and also at the Humboldt University have created luminous plasma clouds underwater by using electrical discharges. They are trying to recreate the mysterious slow moving orbs rarely seen in thunderstorms. They are trying to understand how these orbs are created and how they can factor in to the [...]

Scientists have discovered that planet Jupiter may be melting. It’s inner core appears to be liquefying  and combining with the planet’s insides. This recent finding could help explain a newly discovered planet outside of our solar system. Previous theories explained Jupiter to be a layered planet with a gaseous outer covering outside the hard, rocky core. [...]
