Nonimaging Optics in Solar Energy
Morgan & Claypool Publishers 2008; US$ 40.00Nonimaging optics is a subdiscipline of optics whose development over the last 35?40 years was led by scientists from the University of Chicago and other cooperating individuals and institutions. The approach provides a formalism that allows the design of optical devices that approach the maximum physically attainable geometric concentration for a... more...
Organic Electronics for Energy Harvesting
iSmithers Rapra Publishing 2011; US$ 390.00Energy harvesting, also known as power harvesting or energy scavenging, is the process by which energy is derived from external sources, such as solar, wind, kinetic, and thermal and salinity gradients. This energy is captured and stored and is used for low-energy electronics. Energyharvesting, particularly from remote sources, is a striking alternative... more...
Time to Shine
