Electro-optical simulation of an organic solar cell by Xu, Baohua.

“…Moreover these solar cells have better optical absorption in the visible light range (which the bulk of the solar spectrum resides) as opposed to silicon solar cell which only absorbs in the near infra-red. This allows organic solar cells to absorb light much more effectively. …”

Poetry as postmodern by Zhang, Jieqiang

“…The paper will then make a case for how the poetic form is intimately concerned with silence, and thus, is inherently geared toward an exploration of the limits of language: how the poem’s visual shape can be seen as a metaphor for silence, how the poem is actually made of ruins—of the “ruined” poetic verse—and finally, how poetry’s near-condition of music is its desire to detach itself from the real world, into an imaginative textual reality.…”
