Baffles slow down the movement of fluid by diverting its flow. The research found that two or three porous baffles dividing a tank calms sloshing better than a single separator, but the…

In a bid to use solar energy more efficiently to power medical devices, scientists have innovated a new method to develop solar cells that could help build better pacemakers. Expanding the potential of solar cells, scientists from the University of Chicago incorporated holes on the top layer of the solar cells, making them porous. They found that the holes could improve the technology and in turn be used in making less-invasive pacemakers.The current method to make solar cells requires two layers. Here, either silicon is…
