When opting to use solar panels as a power source for your home or business, the choices tend to revolve around where to place them and how big they should be. But there's at least one more decision ...

Researchers have used artificial intelligence to solve a difficult problem in crystal science. Seeking to understand why crystals develop tiny defects called dislocations, the researchers discovered ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have developed a new thermoelectric material that may be the most efficient one yet. The new and improved polycrystalline form of purified tin selenide has all the ...

US Synthetic Corporation, a leading provider of polycrystalline diamond cutters for oil and gas drilling, has chosen to ...

This research introduced an innovative approach utilizing the electron wind force (EWF) to achieve defect annealing at significantly lower temperatures. The primary goal was to assess this method’s ...

Polycrystalline materials, composed of numerous crystallites or grains, exhibit complex mechanical behaviour due to the heterogeneous nature of their microstructure. Recent advances in computational ...

The elastoplastic response of polycrystalline metals and minerals above their brittleductile transition temperature is idealized here as rigid–perfectly plastic. Bounds on the overall plastic strength ...

Researchers show that for the first time they have achieved atomic-scale observations of grain rotation in polycrystalline materials. Using state-of-the-art microscopy tools, the scientists were able ...

Chinese researchers have developed a pure EVA film, which they claim can enhance the conversion efficiency of conventional crystalline solar cells by around 0.50%. The film is able to convert UV light ...

There are two leading types of solar panel technologies in use today: monocrystalline and polycrystalline. Commonly referred to as “mono” and “poly” for short, monocrystalline and polycrystalline ...
