On this day, the seminar was particularly interesting and focused on producing thin film solar cells. The speaker was from IBM, which I was excited about since I know a lot of intriguing research goes on there. Although the speaker ultimately didn't go into great detail about what their final solution was -- most likely due to copyright issues -- I enjoyed hearing about their research and getting an idea of what they ended up doing.
In lab, I restocked some of the solutions like phosphate buffer and adjusted the pH to various levels in order to soak the silicon wafers and test what results. I also added salt to the phosphate buffer to more precisely mimic the physiological conditions the wafers would theoretically face in a real life application.
