Ubiquitous Energy being absorbed. Developed from research done at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) they have developed organic photoactive materials (organic photovoltaics, OPVs) that allow visible light to pass through its technology but selectively absorb the light from the invisible part of the spectrum, near infrared (NIR) and ultraviolet (UV) light. They call this technology ClearView power. ClearView Power is an invisible film less than 1/1000 of a millimeter thick that can be put onto any surface and generate energy without with out affecting the material beneath it. Specifically they are trying to capture all of the photons of ultraviolet and infrared
Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy seen a considerable revival with the increasing availability of synchrotron light sources which provide a wide range of monochromatic photon energies. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) refers to the measurement of kinetic energy spectra of photoelectrons emitted by molecules which have absorbed ultraviolet photons, in order to determine molecular orbital energies in the valence region. If Einstein's photoelectric law is applied to a free molecule, the kinetic energy (formula_1) of an emitted photoelectron is given by where "h" is Planck's constant, ν is the frequency of the ionizing light, and I is an ionization energy for the formation
