Perhaps a stupid question: Is this simply a matter of getting a second chance to capture the photon (by the same mechanism) as it makes a second pass through the cell after reflection?

If that's true, how does the phone manage to pick the signal out from all that solar radiation?

I don't think this has much to do with the level of interest in STEM. I would rather be any of those other 4 things than an astronaut. At the same time, I would rather be an aerospace engineer, a molecular biologist, or just about any

I understand that from a variety of factors including greenhouse gas concentration, albedo, and solar intensity you can, in principal, compute the earth's atmosphere's equilibrium mean temperature. I understand this function to be

About 11 years ago, Dr Corbato was invited to speak at an ACM meeting in the computer science department at Uconn. He came, but he was, seemingly, too elderly to actually speak. So he stood up, turned on that video on YouTube, and then sat

They will if car taxes increase. And if ridership increases enough, then bus commute times will be reduced a great deal.

I'm not sure how much ifrastructure is really needed most places. Could we just use existing roads, and try to replace every 30 cars on the road with a bus?
