DELETE YOUR FUCKING TWITTER

DONT JUST LOG OUT, DONT JUST "NOT VISIT IT". DELETE IT.

IT'S A SECURITY RISK RIGHT NOW

Fully deleted Twitter after hearing about a huge data leak on the site. Not 100% sure if it was true or not, but I wanted to get away from the site anyway. Hopefully that means I’ll be more active on here.

A novel concept for photovoltaics that exploits the ability of materials to exist in different crystalline phases

The group of Prof. Yana Vaynzof at the Integrated Center for Physics and Photonic Materials (IAPP) and the Center for Advancing Electronics Dresden (cfaed) at Technische Universität Dresden has demonstrated a novel concept for solar cells that exploits the ability of materials to exist in different crystalline phases. The related study has now been published in the journal Nature Energy.

The purpose of a photovoltaic cell is to convert sunlight into electricity. By absorbing the sunlight, pairs of charge carriers are generated and then need to be guided to the opposite sides of the photovoltaic diode to produce electrical current. To facilitate this process, most solar cells include a heterojunction that provides a favorable energetic landscape to drive the charges to be separated.

For example, silicon solar cells form a heterojunction by electrically doping each side of the device, forming a p-n junction. Organic solar cells, on the other hand, rely on blending different types of materials (donor and acceptor) to form a bulk heterojunction. However, these concepts are often not applicable to emerging classes of novel photovoltaic materials.

The Bubble Nebula from Hubble : Massive stars can blow bubbles. The featured image shows perhaps the most famous of all star-bubbles, NGC 7635, also known simply as The Bubble Nebula. Although it looks delicate, the 7-light-year diameter bubble offers evidence of violent processes at work. Above and left of the Bubble’s center is a hot, O-type star, several hundred thousand times more luminous and some 45-times more massive than the Sun. A fierce stellar wind and intense radiation from that star has blasted out the structure of glowing gas against denser material in a surrounding molecular cloud. The intriguing Bubble Nebula and associated cloud complex lie a mere 7,100 light-years away toward the boastful constellation Cassiopeia. This sharp, tantalizing view of the cosmic bubble is a reprocessed composite of previously acquired Hubble Space Telescope image data. via NASA

After generations of speculation, scientists have finally managed to track European eels the entire way back to their breeding grounds in the Sargasso Sea – following their movements thousands of kilometers along what is considered one of the most impressive animal migrations in nature.

Scientists are gushing with excitement because this is the first direct evidence of a long-suspected part of the eels’ life cycle that was proposed almost 100 years ago.

Until now, no eggs or eels had been found in the North Atlantic Ocean’s Sargasso Sea confirming this truly is where eels gather to breed.

Animal of the Day!

Tufted Titmouse (Baeolophus bicolor)

(Photo by Darlene Friedman)

Conservation Status- Least Concern

Habitat- Eastern United States

Size (Weight/Length)- 21 g; 17 cm

Diet- Insects; Seeds; Berries

Cool Facts- Tufted titmice, sometimes called tufties, are tiny songbirds with big vocal range. Forming small groups called banditires, tufted titmice will sit in branches above berry bushes. When the coast is clear from larger birds, they will descend into the bush, grab a berry, and fly back into the tree before eating. Despite their skittish nature, these tiny birds will happily take down a hornet’s nest in exchange for a few juicy larvae. When constructing their nests, female tufted titmice will use animal fur and snake skins to make it as soft as possible. Chicks stay with their mother throughout their first year of life, sometimes helping to rear the next generation.

Rating- 12/10 (Can easily tough out the snowiest weather.)

Why is space so damn beautiful yet so terrifying at the same time? There are absolutely gorgeous planets, galaxies, and nebulae, and yet, most of space is made of dark, empty voids with barely anything in them besides dark matter and energy and a few galaxies here and there. Kinda scary to me that a massive portion of the world is just dark, and we barely have a clue of what that stuff really is.

Gosh I love how mysterious space is.
