Primus: NZ researchers say they have developed dyes that work as more efficient solar cells, at a fraction of the price, and that will operate in low light conditions.
Secundus: A simple formula for making ferrofluids at home.
Tertius: And what are you going to do with all that free electricity and ferrofluid? How about this?
Once again, I thank my daughter for the tips.

Is there any more information about how these dyes work? Guess I need to review how solar cells work as well. I wonder what people can actually accomplish simply by getting fed up with the oil energy dependence?

I have seen no other information about the dyes. I'm sure they would send you a nice brochure about them, if you invested. That's one caveat in this situation. This is a start-up, looking for money.

Throw out a little stink bait, then wait.
With all these 'break through' articles, I always hope these kind of stories arise beyond the article come to fruition soon; i.e. something more than the article itself. The whole of humankind hinges on this kind of good tech mojo. |
"We are all connected; to each other biologically, to the earth chemically, to the rest of the universe atomically."
"So you're made of detritus [from exploded stars]. Get over it. Or better yet, celebrate it. After all, what nobler thought can one cherish than that the universe lives within us all?"
