  • Bioglass® is a clear bioactive material made of calcium, phosphorous, silicon, and sodium salts. It is a type of artificially made glass classified as a bioceramic. It chemically reacts with body fluids to form a bond at the surfaces of tissues and bones. The elements that make up Bioglass® are needed to repair and grow tissues and bones.
  • There is no risk of disease or rejection since Bioglass® is made completely of elements found in the human body.

  • with a limited income, most people will choose to take care of their own immediate needs before they address the needs of the planet.
  • Between 1977 and 2013, the overall cost associated with solar power dropped an amazing 99%
  • dropped 60% since the beginning of 2011

  • new materials (such as perovskites) are becoming even cheaper to manufacture, more efficient at converting energy, and could eventually supplant current silicon cells by absorbing only specific wavelengths of light—thus making it possible to “layer” semi-transparent sheets to increase the amount of energy being generated.

  • Photovoltaic cells are made of special materials called semiconductors such as silicon,
  • when light strikes the cell, a certain portion of it is absorbed within the semiconductor material. This means that the energy of the absorbed light is transferred to the semiconductor. The energy knocks electrons loose, allowing them to flow freely.
