33、iological characteristics were used to create a computer model that estimated where undescribed species might exist today.The model found tropical environments in countries including Brazil, Indonesia, Madagascar, and Colombia house the most undiscovered species. Smaller animals have limited ranges

In contrast, larger animals that occupy greater geographic ranges are more likely to be discovered, the researchers explain.“It is striking to see the importance of tropical forests as the birthplace of discoveries, stressing the urgen

35、t need to protect tropical forests and address the need of controlling deforestation rate if we want a chance to truly discover our biodiversity,“ said Moura.The map comes at a crucial time when Earth is facing a biodiversity crisis. It was reported that there was a 68 percent decrease in vertebrate

41、ial for dramatic increases in power output, and they could ultimately replace silicon altogether.Researchers at Oxford PV, a company spun out of the University of Oxford, made a major breakthrough in 2018. By coating silicon with perovskites they achieved 28% efficiency. The company believes it can

42、eventually reach 40%, or higher. If we want to make all new power generation about solar photovoltaics （光伏），then we need to keep driving the price downHenry Snaith, professor of physics at the University of Oxford and co-founder of Oxford PV,said/cOne way to do that is to keep pushing the efficiency

43、 or power output up, and this is where perovskites really come into play.”Perovskites were discovered in 1839.0xford PV uses a synthetic （合成的）version,made from inexpensive materials that are present on the Earth in large quantities, while other companies use variations of the original mineral,collec

Perovskites can be printed using an inkjet （喷墨的）printer and can be as thin as wallpaper. Oxford PV hopes perovskites will eventually replace silicon entirely.L

45、ast month, Saule Technologiesnew factory in Warsaw began printing perovskite solar cells using inkjet printers. Early next year, it will start supplying Swedish construction company Skanska Group.“The material is set to be a game changer in the energy field, because it works in every lighting condit
