Researching New Materials To Integrate Solar Energy

• Install CFL or LED light bulbs, if you haven’t yet. These bulbs can be four times more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs and last for many years.
• Install a programmable thermostat so you can optimize its usage.
• Unplug unused electrical devices. 

We usually think of solar, or photovoltaic (PV), cells fixed to roofs, converting sunlight into electricity, but bringing that technology indoors could further boost the energy efficiency of buildings and energize swaths of wireless smart technologies such as smoke alarms, cameras and

"More than half a century after Fermi asked his question, we have still heard nothing. Despite our communication systems, no one has called. The more we explore our local neighborhood, the lonelier it seems. No concrete signs of any life, not even the simplest bacteria, have been found on the Moo...
