Beer Bike: Only at Rice 🚲🦉
Despite the name, Rice’s Beer Bike isn’t just about beer—or bikes. It’s a legendary Will Rice Weekend tradition where residential colleges race, chug (beer or root beer), and show off peak school spirit.
With costumes, chants, and serious college pride, Beer Bike is chaotic, competitive, and completely unforgettable. It’s not a race; it’s a Rice rite of passage.

Perovskite solar cells upgraded
A sample all-inorganic perovskite solar cell is a step towards toward commercial use, according to scientists at Rice University. Their discovery of a way to quench defects in cesium-lead-iodide solar cells allowed them to preserve the material’s band gap. Image credit: Jeff Fitlow/Rice University

Rice University scientists have replaced some of the lead in perovskite solar cells with indium, which could help improve their performance.
Rice materials scientist Jun Lou and his colleagues at the Brown School of Engineering have been able to better manage defects in cesium-lead-iodide solar cells that affect the compound's band gap, a critical property in solar cell efficiency.
The cells can also be made in open air and last for months rather than days with a solar conversion efficiency slightly above 12%.
Traditionally, materials used in perovskites - crystals with cube-like lattices and are efficient light harvesters – tend to be stressed by light, humidity and heat.
Rice postdoctoral researcher and lead author Jia Liang and his team built and tested perovskite solar cells of inorganic cesium, lead and iodide, the very cells that tend to fail quickly due to defects. But by adding bromine and indium, the researchers were able to quash defects in the material, raising the efficiency above 12% and the voltage to 1.20 volts.
As a bonus, the material proved to be exceptionally stable. The cells were prepared in ambient conditions, standing up to Houston's high humidity, and encapsulated cells remained stable in air for more than two months, far better than the few days that plain cesium-lead-iodide cells lasted.
‘The highest efficiency for this material may be about 20%, and if we can get there, this can be a commercial product,’ Liang said. ‘It has advantages over silicon-based solar cells because synthesis is very cheap, it's solution-based and easy to scale up. Basically, you just spread it on a substrate, let it dry out, and you have your solar cell.’
“Softening Borders” invites you to step into another’s shoes, no matter where in the world they may be standing. As part of the opening reception for the Moody Center for the Arts’ “Radical Revisionists: Contemporary African Artists Confronting the Past and Present,” Serge Attukwei Clottey will unveil the site-specific installation with a community-based performance this Friday at 6:30 p.m. “Softening Borders” occupies the Moody’s central gallery space, a cavernous white hall with a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. Through the glass, outside passerby might be tempted to do a double-take of the myriad of wooden chairs suspended in the air at every angle. Draped over the chairs are various coats and shirts, some of which are adorned with mail stamps. On the ground, shoes of all sizes and colors are planted alongside neatly folded newspapers that announce poverty and struggle. At first glance, the work seems impassable — a minefield of objects eerily displaced from their owners. But Clottey leaves just enough space for walking, inviting you to traverse the unknown as a microcosm of migratory journey......#sergeattukweiclottey #labadi #texas #houston #afrogallonism #ghana @ Moody Center for the Arts at Rice University @afrogallonism . . #sergeattukweiclottey #afrogallonism #softeningborders #installation #art #contemporaryart #ashantiimmigrant #accrawedey #themoodyart #riceuniversity #migration #politics #power https://www.instagram.com/p/B7slAEaJeVD/?igshid=1o8nc5r6pgyrp
At Rice University there is an art installation called “skyspace” by James Turrell. This is a reflection on wet pavement of the installation’s opening to the sky. . . . #reflection #relflections #ourfotoworld1 #ourfotoworld #sky #jamesturrell #houston #riceuniversity #natgeo #originalphotography (at Houston, Texas, USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4mqE_lFGvL/?igshid=1filze5pu8d8v
