Solar cells, devices that convert sunlight into electricity, are helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, ...

Solar energy offers a promising solution for clean cooling, particularly through absorption refrigeration systems (ARS). However, the intermittent nature of solar radiation and the limited ...

Copper cobaltate nanoneedles coated with zinc oxide hit 99.5 percent light absorption, surpassing carbon nanotubes and boosting concentrated solar power efficiency. That will pave the way towards ...

A new kind of ‘camera’ is poking at the invisible world of the human body – and it’s made from the same weird crystals that once shook up solar energy. Researchers at Northwestern University and ...

President Donald Trump said the U.S. will not approve wind or solar power projects. Trump has tightened federal permitting for renewables with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum now having the final say.

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 ...

This figure illustrates the formation and numerical replication of barred olivine, a unique crystalline texture found in chondrules within meteorites. (a) A polarized light micrograph shows a natural ...

Scientists in Germany have engineered a major leap forward in solar panel design by devising plans for ultra-thin solar panels that are up to 1,000 times more efficient than conventional silicon ...

A research team from China has proposed a transparent smart radiation device (TSRD) for efficient thermal management of solar cells on spacecraft, which are exposed to harsh environmental conditions, ...
