Solar energy is fast becoming one of the most important sources of electricity generation in the US, with 7% of Americans using it to power their homes. However, while solar power affords a viable and ...

By protecting the surface during heating, the team reduced the chance that tiny flaws would grow into long-term failures.

Perovskite-silicon hybrid solar cells, launching in 2026, promise 34% higher efficiency than traditional panels. This ...

Researchers led by a team at Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology in India have simulated a tandem solar cell based on a lead-free halide perovskite top cell with a wide energy bandgap of 1.6 ...

A self assembled monolayer of Phenothiazine enables the formation of perovskite films with good optoelectronic quality and minimises recombination losses. Perovskite semiconductors are an exciting new ...

A team of researchers led by the UK’s University of Cambridge has developed an adhesive-free method of bonding ultra-thin gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cells to borosilicate glass. The technique, ...

South Korean researchers from Chungnam National University have developed a one-step, photoresist-free graphene patterning ...

"Higher energy yields." Researchers make revolutionary breakthrough that could transform solar panels: 'Greater flexibility' first appeared on The Cool Down.

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 blackberries’ ...
