Synopsys' Sentaurus TCAD Used to Simulate Solar Cell Performance Characteristics at NREL

Simulation Provides Key Insights in the Design and Optimization of Solar Cells Synopsys today announced that the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), a leading government laboratory pursuing research in photovoltaic devices, has adopted Synopsys' Sentaurus TCAD for simulating solar cell characteristics to improve performance. Photovoltaic technologies play a significant role in the worldwide push for the development and deployment of renewable sources of energy to reduce carbon emissions. NREL is at the forefront of these developments through its research in wind and solar energy. Its many accomplishments include the development and demonstration of an inverted metamorphic triple-junction solar cell with world-record efficiency of 40.8 percent. NREL also has research programs in thin-film and third-generation solar cells.…

Strategy on European data infrastructure is calling for broad-scale collaboration on data management

European collaboration has long been carried out on building research infrastructures in fields such as high-performance computing, Grid networks, and data communication. The collaboration should now be extended to improve the efficiency of data infrastructure as well. Indeed, the management of databases and information is one of the most significant development targets at the moment. Europe will need extensive collaboration in order to be able to meet the increasing challenges of managing scientific information (processed raw data, consisting of information, knowledge and know-how). ”One of the major questions puzzling researchers is how we can guarantee the preservation of data (raw data) for tens or hundreds of years ahead”, says Managing Director Kimmo Koski from CSC – IT Center for Science…

Supercomputer hopes to say Gotcha to future terrorists

Early during World War II, German U-boats operating in the North Atlantic decimated allied shipping until a Dayton engineer helped design a fleet of computing machines that deciphered coded Nazi communications faster than the U-boat commanders could themselves. Today, the U.S. and its allies face a similar challenge from an enemy that often strikes from the shadows at a time and place of its choosing, said Dr. David Jerome, director of the Air Force Research Laboratory Sensors Directorate. "To unravel their networks and defeat this enemy we must watch over entire cities, day and night, in all weather conditions," Dr. Jerome said. The Gotcha radar is being developed by AFRL engineers to meet that challenge and to provide future joint…

U.S. Secret Service Joins TSCP

Members Work for Global Collaboration in the Fight against Cyber Crime The rise of cyber attacks - and the call for global collaboration on solutions that reduce the threat - has led the United States Secret Service to become the sixth government agency to join Transglobal Secure Collaboration Program (TSCP). The move reflects a growing awareness of the need for a united effort and common solutions to defend against the advanced persistent threat of cyber attacks against nations and commercial organizations alike. High-profile attacks, such as GhostNet and the U.S. electrical grid infiltration, create the imperative for government agencies and private industry to work together on viable and robust solutions that protect electronic information regardless of where it resides. The…
