US/Canada: Northern Lights Illuminate Night Sky

In some regions of the US and Canada, the Northern Lights were spotted on Wednesday, November 5, as an eruption of solar material prompted one of the strongest geomagnetic storms of the year to impact Earth, creating a chance to see the aurora on Thursday, November 6, for nearly half of the US and potentially most of Canada, including its southernmost regions, with visibility particularly high across Western Canada and the northern territories.

Highly efficient perovskite solar cell

A solar cell on which the crystalline material perovskite is applied is shown at Toin University of Yokohama on March 18, 2015. The cell with perovskite layer is relatively simple to produce and has been quickly achieving improved conversion efficiency. A team led by Tsutomu Miyasaka, a professor at the university, reported in 2006 that perovskites can be used for photovoltaics. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
