cep5 Releases Database thats set to Transform Energy Supply

Post by Zydor »

The cep2 WCG BOINC Project has released a 400Tb Database into the Public Domain to encourage further research on solar energy supply and related materials, that was created solely from the efforts of BOINC crunchers.

Its set to transform the World's  Energy Supply by creating more efficient Solar Panel materials (amongst other things) by up to a factor of 100........  

Think about that ...... up to x100 cost reduction and/or efficiency gain, that's going to bring down the cost of Solar energy Massively :)

Its already got two other organisations pitching in with another $15million to continue research. Betting is that Solar panels could be up to 100 times more efficient in a short period of time (less than ten years) due to the new data collated solely by BOINC Crunchers.

Its set to transform energy supply on a Global Scale. The "Twitch" Factor has gone through the roof on this one, and IBM (the main sponsors) are preening themselves rofl  :toothy2:

In the scientific world its creating a big stir ...... some references to get you going:
