A bold new design for thin film solar cells that requires significantly less silicon -- and may boost their efficiency -- is the result of a new industry/academia collaboration.

New mineral discovered: One of earliest minerals formed in solar system

Posted: 06 May 2011 01:53 PM PDT

A team of scientists has discovered a new mineral -- krotite, one of the earliest minerals formed in our solar system. It is the main component of an unusual inclusion embedded in a meteorite (NWA 1934), found in northwest Africa. These objects, known as refractory inclusions, are thought to be the first planetary materials formed in our solar system, dating back to before the formation of Earth and the other planets.
