Green Junction and the Sun. By Julie Peller Ph.D.
Modern solar energy uses materials that convert sunlight to electricity or heat. The first solar cell, credited to Charles Fritts in 1883, provided a 1-2% sun-to-energy conversion efficiency. After years of research on improved materials and designs (especially the last 30 years), the current silicon-based solar cells offer up to 22% efficiency, and more complex... Continue Reading →
Technology needs Energy~Where is the Hermeneutics?
Hermeneutics is the theory and methodology of interpretation, especially where we often find it in understanding biblical texts, wisdom literature such as the "Great Books," and theological and philosophical texts.
