Petaluma Mill

This mill is the home of Hunt & Behrens, Inc. A provider of livestock feed, pet supplies, poultry feed. Not something I'm really involved with other than I really like the mixture of this industrial building mixed in a small Northern California town.
To me, this image really creates a feel of mystery and stirs the imagination.

Scientists' innovation for #IndoorSolarCells maximizes the use of light energy

Story by Science X staff

"Chemists at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU), #Lithuania have synthesized materials that can improve solar elements for indoor use. Such photovoltaic cells, which can also be integrated into various electronic devices, generate electricity even in #LowLight conditions.

"Their study is published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.

"Consumption of oil and gas results in an increase of atmospheric temperatures, leading to global #ClimateChange, currently labeled a #ClimateCrisis. To combat this problem, efforts are being made to use #renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources such as #wind, water and #SolarPower.

"'Wind and #hydropower energy are constrained by high costs and location dependency, while solar energy is flexible, efficient and relatively inexpensive. However, the energy from indoor light sources and natural light entering through windows is lost every day,' says Juozas Vidas Gražulevičius, Professor at the KTU Faculty of Chemical Technology and Head of the Chemistry of Materials research group.

"According to Prof. Gražulevičius, this can be solved by indoor #photovoltaics, which generate electricity even in low-intensity light conditions."
