A study conducted by Penn State University researchers has revealed that organic solar cells ...

The use of solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, has grown exponentially over the past decades.

There are really only two possible endpoints for human energy production, and they're both fusion. Either we find a way to create tiny, controlled fusion reactions here on Earth (fusion power) or we ...

Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at ...

Light can hit a lead halide perovskite crystal that is anything but pristine and still end up as useful electric current.

A research team in Italy has tested the performance of semitransparent wide-bandgap perovskite solar cells in underwater (UW) environments and has found that, at a 0.5–1 cm depth, the devices achieve ...

Researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering (SPREE) have filed patent protection and are working to scale production of a new class ...

Solar power is already one of the fastest growing sources of electricity on the planet, yet scientists say it is still only scratching the surface of what is physically possible. A wave of ...

What if the future of solar energy wasn’t just brighter but fundamentally redefined? Imagine a world where solar panels are not only more efficient but also cheaper, more durable, and adaptable to ...

A new solar panel reaches up to 865 W, setting a historic record in power and efficiency for large-scale solar projects.

Despite their clear efficiency advantages, high-resistivity, lightly doped silicon wafers have seen limited adoption ...

Imagine two homes on the same street, with the same-sized roofs, both fitted with solar panels. Yet one home consistently generates more electricity than the other. The difference comes down to solar ...
