The race to build the world’s most efficient solar cell is no longer a theoretical contest inside physics labs, it is a ...

Renewable sources, including solar, wind, and hydro, now produce roughly a quarter of America's electricity, and when combined with wind, make up 98% of new energy capacity in the US. But how do solar ...

Solar energy is an important form of green energy. It is now being made more flexible. Imagine a solar cell that can be ...

Researchers have developed a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that achieves 26.4 percent efficiency. Unlike rigid silicon modules, the lightweight design can generate power on curved or flexible ...

Solar panels and snow are often framed as natural enemies, but the physics of how panels generate electricity tells a more ...

Perovskites may sound like perogies or piroshkis, but no high-carb-cheese-and-potato-flavor-pocket can do what they do. They’re minerals that can do the same party trick as many of your favorite ...

Perovskite solar cells are a promising alternative to traditional silicon solar panels but have poor durability. Professor Ted Sargent, Research associate professor Bin Chen, Postdoctoral fellows ...

Solar panels made from silicon already adorn rooftops and vast fields around the world—but they are reaching their ...

Perovskite solar cells are widely regarded as the next generation photovoltaic technology. However, they are not yet stable ...

Researchers in the U.S. tested the degradation of antimony chalcogenide solar cells exposed to proton radiation. The result indicated a robust tolerance and potential for use in space.

Winter might seem like the worst season for getting energy from solar panels, due to less sunlight and more snow, but as it ...
