It does not require a force as powerful as the sun to get The University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University to work together, but it certainly helps. UT Austin’s Next Generation Photovoltaics Center will add a new solar research site at Texas A&M University thanks to a new grant from the National … Read the rest »
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has renewed its funding of the Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Next Generation Photovoltaics. The Center will receive base funding of $920,000 over the next five years from the NSF, matched by industry contributions of at least $1.75 million.
Directed by Texas ChE professor Brian Korgel, the Center … Read the rest »
What if we could harness sunlight by converting it into usable electric power for a price that’s competitive with fossil fuels? Unlike the traditionally bulky and expensive solar panels available now, solar cells would be flexible, mass-produced and printed like newspapers. Such a scenario would lead to an energy source that’s not only green – … Read the rest »
