Google doodle wishes scientist Jagdish Chandra Bose on his 158th birth anniversary
Washington D.C. [USA], Nov.30 (ANI): Google, on Wednesday, wished noted scientist Jagdish Chandra Bose on his 158th birth anniversary with a doodle featuring him. The doodle featured Bose's caricature with crescograph, an instrument that he invented to measure growth in plants. Best known for his pioneering work in biophysics, Bose made several contributions in various fields, including physics, biology and archaeology. Born in Bangladesh, on November 30, 1858, Bose was a multi talented man. He was named as one of the fathers of radio science for his contributions to the world of radio and microwave sciences, became the first to use semiconductor junctions to detect radio signals and discovering millimeter length electromagnetic waves. He was also an early writer of science fiction and is considered the father of Bengali science fiction. For all this, and much more, a crater on the moon is named after him. (ANI)

New discoveries made about a promising solar cell material

A team of scientists from the Department of Energy's Ames National Laboratory developed a new characterization tool that allowed them to gain unique insight into a possible alternative material for solar cells. Under the leadership of Jigang Wang, senior scientist from Ames Lab, the team developed a microscope that uses terahertz waves to collect data on material samples. The team then used their microscope to explore Methylammonium Lead Iodide (MAPbI3) perovskite, a material that could potentially replace silicon in solar cells.

Brain area behaves like  Internet router: Research

The legendary scientist Francis Crick first postulated in 2005 that the brain region known as the claustrum is the seat of consciousness. Researchers now posit that Crick may have been incorrect: They developed a new theory built on data that the claustrum behaves more like a high-speed Internet router, taking in executive commands from 'boss' areas of the brain's cortex that forms complex thoughts to generate 'networks' in the cortex.
