The best part is you can power it down while it is doing research, and the research will still be done. You won't get notified or get the completion reward until you power it up gain, but it is a useful trick to save power.

Essentially you power the Research Center on, select a topic to begin researching (assuming you have enough research poiints and raw materials as needed), and power it off. The timer on the Research Center will still count down. When you finallky notice the timer has gone negative, power the Research Center on again, receive the research result, and either start another project, or turn it back off.
