Promising material for solar energy gets its curious boost from entropy, researchers show
Solar energy is critical for a clean-energy future. Traditionally, solar energy is harvested using silicon—the same semiconductor material used in everyday electronic devices. But silicon solar panels have drawbacks: for instance, they're expensive and hard to mount on curved surfaces. Researchers have developed alternative materials for solar-energy harvesting to solve such shortcomings. Among the most promising of these are called "organic" semiconductors, carbon-based semiconductors that are Earth-abundant, cheaper and environmentally friendly. "They can potentially lower the production cost for solar panels because these materials can be coated on arbitrary surfaces using solution-based methods—just like how we paint a wall," said Wai-Lun Chan, associate professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Kansas.

Today, carbon-fiber materials are nearly ubiquitous in the industrialized world, found in everything from hockey sticks to passenger airliners. With hundreds of thousands of tons of carbon fiber produced around the world every year, scientists have sought useful, cost-effective methods for recycling the material. But carbon fiber -- strands of carbon atoms bonded together in a matrix -- is particularly tough to recycle into new useful materials. "It's usually a woven material combined with a matrix, often made of epoxy or polystyrene, that holds it together," said Berl Oakley, Irving S. Johnson Distinguished Professor of Molecular Biology at the University of Kansas. "You have a mixture of the fabric and the matrix, so the goal is to recover the fabric for reuse and also dissolve the matrix without creating something toxic or wasteful. Ideally, you want to reclaim value from it."

PROFESSOR AT UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS—THOSE MEN WHO DON’T VOTE HARRIS SHOULD BE “LINED UP AND SHOT.”
A professor at the University of Kansas recently made a highly controversial comment, suggesting that men who do not vote for Vice President Kamala Harris should be “lined up and shot.” The remark was caught on a recording, after which the professor asked for the statement to be removed so the university’s dean would not become aware of it. This incident has sparked significant outrage, with many…
