Researchers at the Ritsumeikan University in Japan have fabricated a heterojunction solar cell that utilizes a window layer made of titanium oxide (TiO2) and an absorber based on selenium (Se). The ...

Titanium is about to get a lot cheaper if the new technology that the Japanese have just revealed is anything to go by. A research team has just unveiled a titanium production method that the ...

A game-changing breakthrough in titanium production could drive the cost of solar energy lower than ever before. Scientists at the University of Tokyo have developed a novel method that slashes the ...

Selenium is a powerful mineral that provides a wide range of health benefits, particularly for the proper functioning of the immune system. Selenium can be found in various types of foods, as well as ...

THE fact that selenium dioxide, a white solid, gives a brown vapour has been discussed by Meyer and Langner (Ber., 60 B, 285; 1927), who conclude that the colour must be due to the dioxide and cannot ...

Photoconductivity was discovered by William Adams and Richard Day in 1876, who found that selenium produced an electric current when the light was allowed to fall on it. The importance of this ...
