The same dirt that clings to astronauts' boots may one day keep their lights on. In a study published in Device, researchers created solar cells made out of simulated moon dust. The cells convert ...

A greenhouse with a perovskite solar cell rooftop led to faster growth and larger leaves in radicchio seedlings ...

Researchers have broken the world record for solar cell efficiency using sustainable tin halide perovskite technology.

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

Researchers have successfully created solar cells from simulated moon dust that could fuel power. The cells the scientists developed should convert sunlight into energy efficiently and withstand ...

Current research led by TU Chemnitz contributes to a deeper understanding of why slow electrons reduce the efficiency of organic solar cells. Maria ...

Silicone-based solar cells have become ubiquitous ... who previously studied condensed matter physics at Iowa State University in the United States, before moving to University of California ...

In a study published in Device, researchers created solar cells made out of simulated moon dust. The cells convert sunlight into energy efficiently, ...

German scientists believe that power generation for future habitats on the moon could be achieved by manufacturing halide perovskite cells locally, using regolith-based moonglass.

Chinese researchers have used metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) to produce a 12 cm2, five-junction solar cell with a minimal number of mismatch dislocations. The cell has an open ...
