March 30, 2021

Materials called perovskites are widely heralded as a likely replacement for silicon as the material of choice for solar cells, but their greatest drawback is their tendency to degrade relatively rapidly. Over recent years, the usable lifetime of perovskite-based cells has gradually improved from minutes to months, but it still lags far behind the decades expected from silicon, the material currently used for virtually all commercial solar panels. Now, an international interdisciplinary team led by MIT has come up……

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Penguins have navigated a series of injuries to high-profile players while sprinting back into the race for the top spot in the East Division. Add goaltender Tristan Jarry to the list of those on the shelf. And add Casey DeSmith to the latest in an increasingly long line of role players who have filled in admirably in a pinch. DeSmith made 19 saves after Jarry exited following the first period with an upper-body injury…

Earlier this year Divvy, a Utah-based software company that provides corporate spend management software, raised a $165 million round at a $1.6 billion valuation.

The Heartwarming History Behind a Brewery's Kosher...

March 29, 2021

Tucked within the mountains of Japan’s Gifu prefecture, in the middle of Takayama, lies Funasaka Sake Brewery. With its dark-wood walls and stacked sake barrels, it looks typical. But inside is a surprise: Funasaka sells top-notch kosher sake. Less than one percent of the Japanese population identifies as Jewish, but according to Hiroki Arisu, the brewery’s 35-year-old president and CEO, the land-locked prefecture welcomes more than 10,000 Israeli travelers annually—an impressive number given Takayama is home to fewer than……

March 29, 2021

In the depths of a Wisconsin winter, a few days before the end of 2020, Emily Ford went backpacking.

The non-fungible token (NFT) mania has inspired Ethereum fans to spend more than $224 million on crypto collectibles so far in 2021 through marketplaces OpenSea and Rarible, but many buyers may not understand what they actually own. “An NFT is not that different from any other crypto purchase in that you are buying control over information in an entry in a ledger,” said attorney Nelson Rosario, one of the founders of Smolinski Rosario Law.

Rysy actually has three summits: the middle at 2,501 meters (8,205 feet); the northwestern at 2,500 meters (8,200 feet); and the……
