Solar energy has long been a go-to solution for sustainability, but traditional panels have their limitations. They’re big, rigid, and, let’s be honest, not the most visually appealing addition to a ...

By protecting the surface during heating, the team reduced the chance that tiny flaws would grow into long-term failures.

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 ...

A reflection-based solar cell design inspired by periscopes achieves near-complete visible transparency and record light ...

Solar power has long been seen as a clean alternative to fossil fuels. But its everyday use still faces hurdles. Traditional panels are bulky, stiff, and completely opaque. That makes them hard to fit ...

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 ...

Professor Yoke Khin Yap and his research group are improving the efficiency of solar cells one quantum dot at a time. × To sustainably power our digital future, the world needs more — and more ...
