An attempt has been made through this article to report the recent developments in the liquid junction, quasi and solid state versions of the DSSC technology with their state of the art efficiency figures reflecting their current status.
(The newer iPod models got slimmer by replacing that wheel with a solid-state version and by using a smaller battery).
The hard-drive version of Apple's new MacBook Air, for example, costs $1,799 for an 80-gigabyte version; the solid-state version of the Air costs $3,098 and stores only 64 gigabytes.
With his usual showmanship, Apple's chairman, Steven P. Jobs, saved the introduction of the new solid-state version of the iPod for last, slipping it from the change pocket of his blue jeans at the end of a press event at the Moscone Convention Center here.
"The Difference Engine" is our weekly column on technology's finer detailsIN THE days when you could buy germanium diodes, variable capacitors and earphones from war-surplus stores for pennies, your correspondent like many of his schoolboy contemporaries built a solid-state version of his grandparents' crystal-set to pull in short-wave radio broadcasts from around the world.
Next, I will focus on elucidating that the TMD Q valleys offer an unprecedented opportunity to realize the solid-state version of flavor symmetry that is fundamental to the quark model but rare in electron systems, in addition to the charge, spin, and valley degrees of freedom.
Personally, I'd wait for the Atom-and-solid-state version as your battery life will probably double.
Thermoelectric devices are the solid-state version of heat pump and heat engine, operating based on the thermoelectric or the Seebeck Peltier effect.
These devices, or solid-state versions of comparable sensitivity, are invaluable in spectroscopy research, where it is often necessary to measure extremely weak light sources.
