Did you know that many analysts would like to find light-catching elements in order to transform more of the sun’s power into carbon-free electric power?

A new study described in the journal Applied Physics Letters in August this year (written and published by the American Institute of Physics), describes how solar power could potentially be collected by using oxide materials that include the element selenium. A team at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California, embedded selenium in zinc oxide, a relatively cheap material that could make more economical use of the sun’s power.

One of our friends over at Pack Publishing asked us to include in our news the Launch of their Fifth Annual Open Source Awards, so here are the details:

The 2010 Open Source Awards was launched today by Packt, inviting people to visit www.PacktPub.com and submit nominations for their favorite Open Source project.

WordPress won the 2009 Open Source Content Management System (CMS) Award in what was a very close contest with MODx and SilverStripe. While MODx was the first runner up, SilverStripe, a Most Promising CMS Award winner in 2008, made its way to the second runner up position in its first year in the Open Source CMS Award final.
