#India Plans Association Of Top 50 Solar power Nations Soon after taking oath as India#s 15th Prime minister, Narendra Modi made his renewable energy policy very clear.
His government set an ambitious target to add 100 GW renewable energy capacity by 2022. That is 3 times the current renewable energy installed capacity.
To achieve this target the government organised an investor summit called RE-INVEST. Modi has organised successfully such summits
At this summit the Indian government announced that it will form an association of 50 countries rich in solar energy resource.
India aims to encourage research and development to further reduce costs related to solar power generation. The real motive behind such an association of nations could be entirely different though.
the government plans to quantify the emission reduction achieved through renewable energy projects and present it as a just contribution towards fighting climate change.

#New graphene display creates LEDS at an atomic level Graphene has had a rough go of it of late.
This doesn mean that graphene has no electronics applications, however, and a research team from the University of Manchester has published a report detailing how flexible 2d graphene arrays could be used in the next-generation of LED screens.
This new project differs from earlier demonstrations of graphene technology. In September the Cambridge Graphene Centre demonstrated a display that incorporated a graphene electrode.
The new LEDS built by the University of Manchester in this experiment were engineered apparently at an atomic level from multiple layers of crystal lattice as shown below.
This type of structure implements multiple layers of materials horizontally, but because each lattice is only a few atoms thick,
This graphene design, however, appears to buck that trend; the University of Manchester team certified that the graphene-based LEDS have remained robust and continued to emit light for weeks.
The team claims that these graphene-based LEDS can emit light across their entire surface (apparently obviating
or reducing the need for a backlight) and have reached efficiencies that are already comparable to organic LEDS in terms of quantum efficiency (photons emitted per electron injected).
Whether or not that means graphene-based LED TECHNOLOGY can supplant OLED is, of course, an open question.

not only how to build precisely defined bandgaps into composites of graphene and boron nitride, but they have uncovered also the deeper electronic structure of the material
What the MIT researchers basically did was take single layers of hexagonal graphene and stack them up against single layers of hexagonal boron nitride.
In order to coax the graphene-boron honeycomb into exposing its hidden behaviors, some additional outside influence needs to be imposed.
When the graphene-boron honeycombs are stacked out of alignment, they create something known as a oire pattern
what really has excited the researchers is some of the other physical effects they were able get from graphene.
electron behavior in graphene is ltrarelativisticand therefore is described better using the lesser-known Dirac equation.
electrons in graphene composites configured with just the right alignment can flow at significantly greater speeds,
Furthermore, when many layers of graphene are stacked properly together (with associated greater strength), they can still show the high conduction seen in a single layer h

#New 2d super-material could beat graphene to becoming the new silicon A purely theoretical mathematical study has inspired an experiment that could have serious real-world applications:
a crystalline material called titanium trisulfide could perform almost as well as graphene in many areas, while lacking one key weakness.
potentially making it a better candidate than graphene to allow truly next-generation electronics. The work here is very preliminary, but promising.
much like graphene but without being chemically pure. University of Nebraska-Lincoln chemist Xiao Cheng Zeng found that the computer model predicted the crystals were incredibly conductive,
and had one wonderful electronic property that graphene does not: just as in silicon, the electrons orbiting within titanium-trisulfide can be pushed easily up into the conduction band,
The approach was inspired by graphene itself: Nebraska-Lincoln Alexander Sinitskii created a macro-scale block of titanium trisulfide
The very earliest samples of graphene were made by repeatedly sticking and unsticking clear sticky tape over a powdered sample of pure carbon,
What this means is that purely scientific proofs of concept like current graphene computer chips might be made fully digital
Right now, graphene lack of a useful bandgap means that graphene computers are limited to analog computation only;
after graphene has saturated headline space for so long, is that there was only a few months needed to take this purely theoretical 2d substance from a computer simulation to practical, working transistors.
It possible that some of graphene newer, more efficient production processes might continue to work for titanium trisulfide and if so,
there no telling how quickly it might reach the pure production efficiency graphene science has been developing for almost a decade.
The pure transistor density already achieved with graphene, combined with the ability to create relatively ormaldigital architecture,
And combining graphene power efficiency with silicon current ability to soak up solar radiation could have an even bigger impact.
