Let’s start with some background introduction, I guess you all know about fossil fuels (e.g. coal, oil, gas), and they are bad for the planet that we are living in.

[Don’t know about it? Read What’s the problem?; What is pollution? and Greenhouse Earth.]

That’s why we need a clean way to power your house, your street, the car / bus / train that gets you to school, everything that needs power. Example of clean power uses wind, water, or poo 😛 The one that I’m working on uses the sun.

But why most people still use the dirty power? Because clean power are still expensive. I am trying to make sun power (proper term: solar energy) cheaper so that people will stop using dirty power 🙂

There are a lot of scientists in the community working on topic similar to the one that I’m studying so it is useful for me to read what the other scientists have done and what they have found.

After the reading, I create a recipe and go to my ‘kitchen’ (in real term: laboratory, or lab) to do the weighing and cooking.

Since I can’t tell what I have cooked by looking at it, I find it out by firing X-ray and lasers to my sample and they are able to tell me something about them.
