Chemistry Department Speaker on Solar Cells — Outside event October 24‚ 2017 Today I attended a talk curated by the Ithaca College Chemistry Department by Kathleen Sampson‚ a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Toronto. Sampson presented about the intersections of chemistry and engineering in regards to innovating new materials to produce solar energy. Sampson discussed organic solar cells‚ a type of solar energy technology that converts sunlight into electricity using “Earth-abundant‚ carbon-based

Inside the Solar System: Comet C/2011 N3 PSC 103 - Astronomy Summer 2012 According to an article written in early January Scientific American (Matson‚ 2012)‚ on July 6th‚ for the first time ever‚ a sun-watching spacecraft has traced a comet’s route directly into the sun. The magazine boasts this as the “Solar Swan Song” (Matson‚ 2012) and compares this comet’s demise to dramatic exits in the movie Dr. Strangelove. Discovered by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory‚ otherwise known as SOHO

Solar and wind power are alternative sources of energy which have been growing rapidly during this time of energy crisis. Wind and solar energies are considered an efficient and clean fuel. They do not cause any air or water pollution because they involve no burned fuel (MNIDER‚ 2008). Recently‚ there has been a focus on developing renewable energy resources. The main reason is that renewable energies are inexhaustible in contrast to the other energies such as fossil fuels‚ which widely considered

Why would anyone use solar energy as an alternative energy to solve the world’s pollution problem? As humans‚ everyday we burn many different types of fossil fuels to produce ourselves electricity and to power up our vehicles‚ and so we create a lot of pollution‚ making this our own fault. With our modern technology and the abundance of the sun’s energy‚ solar energy has the ability to provide the world with electricity and different types of fluid (“Solar Energy”). Solar energy is ?e energy source
