Following the sun : the pioneering years of solar energy research at the Australian National University, 1970-2005 /

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

In 1970 a small group of physicists at The Australian National University decided to veer away from the accepted and expected directions in energy research and pursued the emerging discipline of solar energy. Over the next decade ANU joined a small cluster of research institutions, including the CSI...
