The advance provides evidence to support a controversial idea, called multiple-exciton generation (MEG), which theorizes that it is possible for an electron that has absorbed light energy, called an exciton, to transfer that energy to more than one electron, resulting in more electricity from the same amount of absorbed light.
FORBES: Using Quantum Dots to Make Solar Panels More Efficient
Instead of the light being absorbed, energy is stored in the magnetic moment.
By shining laser light onto hydrogen or antihydrogen and observing which wavelengths are absorbed, the energy levels of the two can be compared in detail.
AMD's business, absorbed untold management energy and undermined investor confidence.
Sugar molecules released from the broken-down shell are then absorbed and used as energy by the bacteria.
The rate at which energy is absorbed by the body when exposed to RF is referred to as the specific absorption rate, or SAR.
And as the decayed material has an extremely high water content Mr Hansen said that most of the laser's energy is absorbed by the infected tissue, which is then vaporised.
Less solar energy is absorbed by hot, parched land.
CNN: Extreme weather: Get ready to see more of it, scientists say
Visiting fans and their energy get absorbed and lost in the mix of a huge city, while less populous ones make much better venues, because the event takes over and transforms them into one big Super Bowl party.
The energy that comes into it from the sun is absorbed by air molecules and reradiated to space during the normal ups and downs in solar energy that occur over a roughly 11-year time span.
As the gasses are absorbed by the black hole, the energy from those gasses is released as X-rays.
FORBES: Scientists Catch A Black Hole Munching On A Giant Planet
Because it uses organic materials, any carbon dioxide released during the generation of energy is offset by that absorbed during the plant's life, so the process as a whole is broadly balanced, or "carbon neutral".
If workers and firms believe that the inflation target will be hit, then short-term inflationary shocks, such as the recent jolt to energy prices, will be absorbed rather than setting off a wage and price spiral.
It is also well known that when oceans warm (in this instance due to intensification of sunlight energy), huge amounts of absorbed CO2 are released, exactly like the off-gassing of a carbonated drink when warmed.
FORBES: The Feverish Hunt For Evidence Of A Man-Made Global Warming Crisis
As the particles are absorbed by the crystals, they give up their remaining energy as light providing further information about their identity.
The design aims to increase efficiency by reducing the amount of energy lost when sunlight is reflected off the solar cell or absorbed into the material before reaching the contact wires.
We've sparked innovation in transportation and energy and health care and education, all of which you've absorbed.
The bottom line is that the energy world has changed in a fundamental way that has yet to be absorbed by the punditocracy, or incorporated in policy.
