There are really only two possible endpoints for human energy production, and they're both fusion. Either we find a way to create tiny, controlled fusion reactions here on Earth (fusion power) or we ...

Photovoltaic (PV) technologies, which convert light into electricity, are increasingly applied worldwide to generate renewable energy. Researchers have now developed a molecular treatment that ...

Solar panels and snow are often framed as natural enemies, but the physics of how panels generate electricity tells a more nuanced story. In cold, bright conditions, modern photovoltaic systems can ...

A study conducted by Penn State University researchers has revealed that organic solar cells ...

A new study published in Science led by researchers at UNC-Chapel Hill, with collaborators from the Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI), explains why perovskite solar cells—fast-rising ...

Solar power continues to grow—accounting for most new capacity added to U.S. electric grids in 2024—but the mid-1950s technology most often used to capture the sun's energy comes with environmental ...

A research team from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU Munich) has shown that ...

In a previous article, I wrote that if you were to start a solar business, the Nordic region would not be the obvious choice, and yet the challenges of doing so have created a thriving sector. But ...

The research advanced the durability of perovskite solar cells without compromising their exceptional efficiency, moving closer to a practical, low-cost alternative to silicon-based photovoltaics.

An international research team led by Huazhong University of Science and Technology was able to improve (Sn-Pb) single junction tin lead perovskite solar cells, as well as all-perovskite tandem and ...
