A photovoltaic solar cell that is less expensive than silicon solar cells and increasingly becoming more efficient at absorbing sunlight. However, perovskite tends to be less durable than silicon, ...

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a multi-source co-evaporation recipe ...

It is not easy to bring new technologies from the laboratory to market. Researchers and companies face very different demands for new developments and do not always find common ground. Scientists at ...

Perovskite solar cells are a high-efficiency, low-cost alternative to traditional silicon-based solar panels. With the perovskite solar cell industry expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2033, there’s ...

Nanotechnology enables the use of materials with unique optical, electrical, and thermal properties. These materials can be engineered to absorb sunlight more efficiently, reduce energy loss, and ...

These cells could be laminated onto various kinds of surfaces, such as the sails of a boat to provide power while at sea. Scientists develop mega-thin solar cells that could be shockingly easy to ...

A cluster of recent laboratory advances in ultra-thin solar cells suggests that lightweight, flexible photovoltaic devices may be able to move beyond niche prototypes if researchers can solve ...

Solyco is developing a new low-temperature technology for the interconnection of solar cells. It consists of a round copper core with a diameter of 280 μm that is covered by a very thin layer of ...

If you stop to think about it, it’s a marvel that we can harness energy from the sun. But we do, thanks to solar panels equipped with photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity. That’s no ...
