"Instead of fighting against the sun's heat, our research shows we can harness it," said lead author Dr. Dowon Bae, of ...

A new organic semiconductor molecule could lead to lighter and simpler solar panels made entirely from a single material. For ...

Solar already undercuts coal and natural gas pricing across most regions, and these improvements drive prices down further ...

By adding a thin carbon-based DPND coating to silicon cells, solar cells achieve higher photon utilisation, maintaining ...

Solar cells face gradual deterioration when exposed to ultraviolet radiation, which can damage sensitive layers such as electrolytes in dye-sensitized cells. To mitigate this, manufacturers typically ...

Researchers at University of New South Wales have reported details about a novel sieving-aids technology that improves the ...

Scientists have developed a brand new, clear coating that can be applied to any standard window to turn it into an effective ...

Ultraviolet rays actually break down components of solar panels over time, but red onion dye combined with nanocellulose creates a pretty effective filter.

A new study out of MIT has created an autonomously functioning robot that can act like a lab technician to test materials, in particular for the properties needed to make solar cells. It can collect ...

Australia's rapid uptake of solar panels is creating a looming waste problem with most solar photovoltaic (PV) panels being directed to landfill at the end of their life.

Data centers need a huge amount of new electricity. Instead of building polluting power plants, they could get it by helping homeowners install solar, batteries, and heat pumps (and also build some ...

Well, it’s likely not an energy solution for single-family homes. But skyscrapers built with these light-collecting windows ...
