Energy can never be created or destroyed. That's basic Physics 101. You simply cannot create energy out of thin air. Yet ...

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

For most of the solar industry’s modern history, progress has been framed as a story of physics. Higher efficiencies came ...

Hundreds of years ago, lead musket balls tore across European battlefields, littering the ground with toxic materials. Today, a team of scientists in Germany has scavenged a pile of this deeply ...

Korea University researchers have developed a machine-learning framework that predicts solar cell efficiency from wafer quality, enabling early wafer screening and optimized production paths. Using ...

Researchers have developed a solar cell system that uses mirrors to concentrate solar energy. In addition to electricity, it produces heat for a plant that will capture carbon from industrial ...

An Oxford researcher has found that transparent conducting electrodes can reduce perovskite–silicon tandem solar cell efficiency by over 2%, with losses linked to electrical resistance, optical ...

Engineers from UNSW have created a worldwide UV radiation map for solar panels, highlighting major differences in exposure depending on climate and mounting systems. Their new global study has ...

Researchers at Australia's UNSW have developed the world's first comprehensive map of ultraviolet radiation for solar modules ...
