Living near a star is risky business, and positioning a spacecraft near the Sun is a very good way to observe rapidly changing solar activity and deliver early warning of possibly harmful space weather.
Magnetism plays a critical role in various solar phenomena such as flares, mass ejections, flux ropes, and coronal heating.
The ability to use cheap materials and simple manufacturing methods are two huge advantages of printed organic solar cells.
Perovskite solar cells are an alternative to conventional silicon solar cells, poised to enter the market with their high power-conversion efficiencies (above 22% now) and lower capital expenditure and manufacturing costs.
Caltech researchers have made a discovery that they say could lead to the economically viable production of solar fuels in the next few years.
An international team of researchers has discovered a new quantitative relation that allows for quick identification of promising material combinations for organic solar cells.
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) created an environmentally stable, high-efficiency perovskite solar cell, bringing the emerging technology a step closer to commercial deployment.
