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 ...

A breakthrough by Chinese scientists has pushed flexible solar technology forward by solving a major design challenge: ...

Building solar panels from "moonglass" could slash rocket transport costs associated with an increased presence on the lunar ...

Traditional PV systems used in agricultural settings are made from silicon materials and are opaque. The opaque nature of these solar cells can block sunlight reaching plants and hinder their growth.

Researchers used a synthetic version of moon dust to build working solar panels, which could eventually be created within – ...

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 ...

University of Queensland researchers have set a world record for solar cell efficiency with eco-friendly perovskite ...

“We are interested in finding alternative scintillator and solar cell materials that are more radiation-hard,” he tells Physics World. The researchers are optimistic, though, arguing that optimized ...

Their potential for use in solar cells has generated plenty of headlines ... Group at the University of Potsdam’s Institute for Physics and Astronomy, explains that the idea is to combine ...

Moon dust is quickly becoming a magic material, from which oxygen and other elements such as titanium can be extracted, that ...

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