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

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 ...

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

Solar panels capture sunlight and convert it to electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells like the one illustrated above. Such cells, which can power everything from calculators to cars (our ...

Solar cells are devices for converting sunlight into electricity. Their primary element is often a semiconductor which absorbs light to produce carriers of electrical charge. An applied electric ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

His current research focuses on the morphological and mechanical characterization of semiconducting polymers and their blends in solar cells and transistors, as well as the polymer physics of ...
