In a step closer to skyscrapers that serve as power sources, a team led by University of Michigan researchers has set a new efficiency record for color-neutral, transparent solar cells.
Northrop Grumman Corporation has entered into a 15-year virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) with Dominion Generation, Inc., a subsidiary of Dominion Energy, that enables the construction of a new 62.5 megawatt solar facility in Orange County, Virginia.
Organic solar cells are ideal for use in flexible electronics because of the inherently malleable nature of semiconducting polymers.
Global economic growth comes with increasing demand for energy, but stepping up energy production can be challenging.
An animal-tracking system developed by Saule Technologies will support the monitoring of European bison in Ukraine.
A special type of aurora, draped east-west across the night sky like a glowing pearl necklace, is helping scientists better understand the science of auroras and their powerful drivers out in space.
Scientists at Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech), together with colleagues from the Karl-Franzens University of Graz and the Kanzelhohe…
For the first time, researchers in Germany sent perovskite and organic solar cells on a rocket into space.
Scientists have developed a new prediction of the shape of the bubble surrounding our solar system using a model developed with data from NASA missions.
Solar activity varies in 11-year cycles. As the activity cycle switches to a new one, the Sun is usually very calm for several years.
A research group led by Prof. CHEN Tao and Prof. ZHU Changfei, and their collaborator Prof.
Nanoengineers at UC San Diego developed a new method to fabricate perovskites as single-crystal thin films, which are more efficient for use in solar cells and optical devices than the current state-of-the-art polycrystalline forms of the material.
Researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have developed a new fabrication technique based on inkjet printing that could enable fast, efficient and scalable production of perovskite solar cells.
Solar cells convert light into energy, but they can be inefficient and vulnerable to the environment, degrading with, ironically, too much light or other factors, including moisture and low temperature.
Research on solar cells to secure renewable energy sources are ongoing around the world.
Solar energy researchers at Oregon State University are shining their scientific spotlight on materials with a crystal structure discovered nearly two centuries ago.
