What are Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs)? DSSCs are semi-transparent, flexible, and efficient thin film solar cells that enable a variety of applications not possible with rigid silicon-based ...

Scientists have increased the power conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells beyond 15% in direct sunlight and 30% in ambient light conditions. Scientists at EPFL have increased the power ...

We see plenty of solar projects here on Hackaday, but they primarily consist of projects that use an off-the-shelf solar panel to power something else. We see very few projects where people actually ...

Scientists have found that a dye made from red onion skin extract, combined with nanocellulose, offers a 99.9% protection rate against UV rays for solar cells. This bio-filter material outperforms ...

Physical reservoir computing (PRC) utilizing synaptic devices shows significant promise for edge AI. Researchers from the Tokyo University of Science have introduced a novel self-powered ...

A wireless, continuous power source for charging devices is an enticing concept. But despite a surplus of examples of solar-powered prototypes, few manufacturers can boast of achieving commercial ...

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 ...
