Summary Photons from sunlight with energy slightly higher than that of the band gap of silicon create electric current within a photovoltaic (PV) cell. However, many photons from sunlight have either insufficient or excess energy. This study was conducted to find the effect of different photon transmission mediums on the temperature and voltage output of…

Abstract: We created silver nanoparticles using silver nitrate and sodium alginate through a method of mixing and heating the two solutions. The nanoparticles were confirmed by spectrographs and electron micrograph investigations. They proved to be very effective inhibiting the growth of E.Coli when embedded in agar.

Young consumers are beginning to shun fast-food products in favor of healthy alternatives such as organic food and MSG-free products. This trend may also apply…

Abstract This thought experiment addresses loss of volume that occurs when a three-dimensional object is contracted due to relativistic processes. Specifically we investigate the dependence of contraction due to orientation relative to direction of motion. Length contraction states that relative constant velocity will lead to a shortened distance in the direction of motion, when viewed…
