ESA's upcoming EarthCARE satellite mission has just taken a big stretch. Engineers have gently unfolded this new satellite's huge five-panel solar wing to test that it will deploy correctly once it is in space.
A source of renewable energy, solar power can be used to supplement your existing power sources or be used on its own as an independent energy resource.
Perovskites hold promise for creating solar panels that could be easily deposited onto most surfaces, including flexible and textured ones.
Fluctuations in space weather are disrupting train signals and causing significant delays.
Increasing the power conversion efficiency of solar cells is important for two reasons.
Everyone is happy on Piet Albers's farm. His raspberry canes flourish under a shady umbrella of solar panels and in turn energy firm BayWa supplies clean power to 1,200 homes.
Chemistry expert secures Humboldt Foundation funding to recruit scientists for nanomaterials research
China will launch its first comprehensive solar probe, the Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory, in October, opening a new chapter in the country's…
Every August and September the unmistakable pungent aroma of roasting green chile permeates the air across New Mexico and neighboring states.
The motion of a tiny number of charged particles may solve a longstanding mystery about thin gas disks rotating around young stars, according to a new study from Caltech.
Big data has become a big challenge for space scientists analyzing vast datasets from increasingly powerful space instrumentation.
Just as the ocean's surface can be calm and glassy or churning big waves, a moody portion of space called the ionosphere can smoothly reflect communication signals or bounce them into oblivion.
The active layer morphology of organic solar cells (OSCs) serves as the bridge that connects material properties with device performances, and thus the morphology is of critical importance in device fabrication.
Scientists from the Institute for Open and Transdisciplinary Research Initiatives at Osaka University discovered a new feature of solar cells made from…
An international collaboration led by Kobe University researchers has successfully developed a nanosheet-laminated photocatalytic (*1) membrane that demonstrates both excellent water permeance and photocatalytic activity.
The Sun is our superstar, continuously providing our planet with energy, light, and heat, thus making it a very habitable environment for life.
