stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, programming, react, software, typescript, webdev

In this post, we will build a simple React app using Next.js. Nothing complicated, just a simple calculator app that will demonstrate a number of features of React. Note that the full source code can be found at the link given at the end of this post. The calculator will start off simple, just add, subtract, multiply and divide. Maybe we will add something later. We'll start by getting the environment setup. For Next, you need to have node version 18 or later. I am using 20.10. Next.js will setup the default project structure for you. This is recommended, so…

Oxford University scientists may have solved one of the greatest hindrances of expanding access to solar energy. Scientists from the university’s physics department have created an ultra-thin layer of material that can be applied to the exterior of objects with sunlight access in place of bulky silicon-based solar panels.The ultra-thin and flexible film is made by stacking layers of light-absorbing layers of perovskite that are just over one micron thick. The new materials are also 150 times thinner than a traditional silicon wafer and can produce 5 percent more energy efficiency than traditional, single-layer silicon photovoltaics, according to a statement…
