A German research team has developed a tandem solar cell that reaches 24 per cent efficiency - measured according to the fraction of photons converted into electricity (i.e.
Perovskites are a family of materials that are currently the leading contender to potentially replace today's silicon-based solar photovoltaics.
Renewable energy prices have fallen by more than 70 percent in the last decade, driving more Americans to abandon fossil fuels for greener, less-polluting energy sources.
Zinc-air batteries, which produce electricity through a chemical reaction between oxygen in the atmosphere and zinc, are considered to be next-generation candidates to meet the explosive demand for electric vehicles instead of lithium-ion batteries.
A sophisticated new observation of a cool zone on the surface of the sun could help scientists develop a new kind of solar thermometer.
Glittering solar-paneled roofs atop residential, commercial, and industrial buildings may soon get a new look with the carbon-based organic solar cell or OSC.
President Joe Biden extended tariffs on imported solar panels in February 2022 in a bid to protect domestic manufacturing.
About 750 million people in the world do not have access to electricity at night.
For a greener and more sustainable economy, building better and more powerful solar cells is a key research goal within the clean energy sector.
Solar energy generation keeps on becoming cheaper and more efficient, but some basic limitations will always apply: solar panels can only generate power during the daytime, and much of the sunlight is absorbed by the atmosphere as it shines downward.
Semiconducting perovskites that exhibit superfluorescence at room temperature do so due to built-in thermal "shock absorbers" which protect dipoles within the material from thermal interference.
A team co-led team by the University of Surrey has successfully increased the levels of energy absorbed by wafer-thin photovoltaic panels by 25%. Their solar…
Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a leader in space infrastructure for the next generation space economy, is supplying solar array technology that will power…
Metal halide perovskites are characterized by low-cost, high photoluminescence quantum yield, and high color purity.
The ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter spacecraft is speeding towards its historic first close pass of the Sun, which happens midday on 26 March 2022.
The further we move away from a heat source, the cooler the air gets. Bizarrely, the same can't be said for the Sun, but University of Otago scientists may have just explained a key part of why.
