Rewarding research: Student’s chemistry work helps advance solar-cell technology
The quest to develop technologies to replace coal and oil as energy sources is underway in many venues, including a laboratory at Wake Forest.
Chemistry professor Ronald Noftle and his student lab assistants have been experimenting with new thiophene molecules and polymers, hoping to develop a thin, flexible, inexpensive and efficient method for storing energy.
In his remarks to the graduates, President Nathan O. Hatch talked about the "virtue and vice" of ambition. "How do you relate the drive for achievement, to make a name for yourself, with the commitment to live for the common good — Wake Forest's motto Pro Humanitate?
