Today, solar energy provides 2% of U.S. power. However, by 2050, renewables are predicted to be the most used energy source (surpassing petroleum and other liquids, natural gas, and coal) and solar will overtake wind as the leading source of renewable power. To reach that point, and to make solar power more affordable, solar technologies still require a number of breakthroughs. One is the ability to more efficiently transform photons of light from the Sun into useable energy.
Scientists used copper foil, glass containers and a conventional household microwave oven

Using copper foil, glass containers and a conventional household microwave oven, University of Wyoming researchers demonstrated that pulverized coal powder can be converted into higher-value nano-graphite.
The U.S. National Science Foundation-funded discovery is another step forward in the effort to find alternative uses for Wyoming s Powder River Basin coal at a time when demand for coal to generate electricity is declining because of concerns about climate change.

State, national and international media frequently feature the University of Wyoming and members of its community in stories. Here is a summary of some of the recent coverage:
Data compiled by UW political Professor Jim King was used in a Washington Post article noting that President-elect Joe Biden’s transition is far behind schedule compared to his six immediate predecessors, as the Senate proceedings of impeachment of outgoing President Donald Trump could push it back even further.
King said Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney’s vote to impeach Trump is not likely to go over smoothly among most Cowboy State Republican voters, according to a Bloomberg Businessweek article.
