It is possible to make a material emit more radiation than it absorbs, violating the laws of physics in a way that could make ...

The new OSCs were found to be around 20% efficient, which is very high for this type of solar cell, especially for ones that ...

Perovskite solar cells promise to revolutionize clean energy, but fragile materials and finicky fabrication have stalled ...

A certain species of sea slug steals chloroplasts from algae and houses its contraband in special organelles that it can raid ...

To sustainably power our digital future, the world needs more — and more efficient — sources of renewable energy. Michigan ...

This is a close-up look at a high-performance solar cell made from a monocrystalline silicon wafer. The contact grid is made from busbars (large strip) and fingers (small strips).

KLA Instruments' Tencor P-Series profilers enable accurate thickness measurement in perovskite solar cells, enhancing ...

The basic technology behind Ambient Photonics’s solar cells is so simple that it’s routinely assembled as a high school science experiment. In labs across the US, students sandwich ...

This type of solar cell can generate solar power at 15-20% efficiency, which means it outputs 15-20% of the energy it receives from the sun. Tesla Solar Roof tiles use crystalline silicon cells.

Canadian solar panel maker Heliene and India’s solar cell maker Premier Energies are joining forces to build a US solar cell factory. This is great news for the US, as there is currently a ...

A start-up in regional NSW will be the first Australian company to produce at scale a new type of solar cell that works under artificial light to power devices like keyboards and headphones.
