Solar Atmospheric Neutrinos and the Sensitivity Floor for Solar Dark Matter Annihilation Searches [PDF]
, 2017 Cosmic rays interacting in the solar atmosphere produce showers that result in a flux of high-energy neutrinos from the Sun. These form an irreducible background to indirect solar WIMP co-annihilation searches, which look for heavy dark matter particles annihilating into final states containing neutrinos in the Solar core.

Aerosols and Solar Energy [PDF]
, 1979 A brief description is presented of the involvement of the Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI) in atmospheric research, including aerosol characterization and modeling. The use of both rigorous and simple models for radiation transport is described. Modeled broadband solar irradiance data are shown to illustrate the important influence that aerosols

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This work investigates modifying interfacial contacts in realizing giant‐performance semiconductor nanomembrane optoelectronics. Strategies, including surface reaction and buffer layer work‐function modulation, are explored to boost the Schottky barrier. An emerging material of YbOx is utilized for near‐ideal Ohmic contact.

Microbial rhodopsins are major contributors to the solar energy captured in the sea
Science Advances, 2019 First quantifications of marine microbial rhodopsin reveal a major role in solar energy capture in the surface ocean. All known phototrophic metabolisms on Earth rely on one of three categories of energy-converting pigments: chlorophyll-a (rarely -d ...

Shape‐Stabilization of Phase Change Materials with Carbon‐Conscious Poly(hydroxy)Urethane Foams
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Poly(hydroxy)urethane (PHU) foam, derivable from carbon dioxide (CO2) and bio‐based resources, is a promising material platform for shape‐stabilizing phase change materials (PCMs). We demonstrate the encapsulation of both paraffins and calcium chloride hexahydrate in PHU foam, achieving 48 stable thermal cycles by introducing 5 wt.% barium carbonate ...

Agrivoltaics in Germany - Status Quo and Future Developments
AgriVoltaics Conference ProceedingsGround-mounted photovoltaic facilities in open spaces have been common in Germany for many years. However, according to the legislation, these are only supported by the government on poorer quality soils, former military training areas, or along traffic

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review synthesizes the evolution of radiative heat transfer, emphasizing the transition from far‐field to near‐field regimes. Traditional frameworks, such as Planck's law, are revisited alongside modern innovations like fluctuational electrodynamics. Applications span nanoscale thermal management, energy harvesting, and thermophotovoltaic systems.

Approaches for reducing metallization-induced losses in industrial TOPCon solar cells
EPJ PhotovoltaicsMinimizing carrier recombination in silicon solar cells is key to increase the conversion efficiency, as recombination affects both the fill factor and the open circuit voltage. Recombination at metal-semiconductor interfaces plays a crucial part in this,

arXiv, 2012 I give an overview of the recent developments in the solar neutrino field. I focus on the Borexino detector, which has uncovered the solar neutrino spectrum below 5 MeV, providing new tests and confirmation for solar neutrino oscillations. I report on the updated measurements of the 8B solar neutrino flux by water Cherenkov and organic scintillator ...

Active Thermal Field Integration for Marangoni‐Driven Salt Rejection and Water Collection
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A thermal gradient fabric (TGF) evaporator with an auxiliary active thermal field can simultaneously increase evaporation rates and achieve long‐term salt rejection. The auxiliary active thermal field is well integrated with solar energy to construct moderate, extensive, and circulating Marangoni flow for salt rejection.
