- Silicon Alley Insider's startup index: Click bait? Nah. It's tip bait
- Lists have never done much for me--especially financial lists. It's financial porn: Forbes' most wealthy people; the Fortune 500; 10 mutual funds you must have now and a few hundred other lists. And now Silicon Alley Insider has launched a startup valuation index that's bound to be a conversation starter....

- Promise of more efficient solar cells
- Canadian researchers have found a way to make solar cells more efficient, perhaps twice as efficient as current tech used to convert sunlight into electricity. The work was done at Canada's McMasters University and is already in commercial development. It uses one-crystal thick layers of solar collecting materials...

- ATI acquisition might be key to AMD's future success
- Without a doubt, 2007 was a bad year for AMD. A price war with Intel, the acquisition of ATi, chip delays, and chip bugs. Any one of these would have been bad, but all of these combined meant that AMD had a really tough year. But 2008 could be a...

- Evanescent lasers to speed up data transmission
- It is refreshing to note that some scientists also have a solid literary culture. Researchers at UC Santa Barbara (UCSB) have built the world's first mode-locked silicon evanescent laser. But what is an 'evanescent' laser? It is a step toward 'combining lasers and other key optical components with the existing...

- Nanotechnology boosts solar cells performance
- Physicists from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) have improved the performance of solar cells by 60 percent. And they obtained this spectacular result by using a very simple trick. They've coated the solar cells with a film of 1-nanometer thick silicon fluorescing nanoparticles. The researchers also said that...

- More powerful solar cells
- Today, solar cells are not a very efficient way to produce electricity, even if the source of energy is free. They can be manufactured from thick crystalline silicon wafers (300 microns thick) or thinner non-crystalline ones (about 2 microns thick). But 'thin' cells built are less efficient than 'thick' ones,...
