There are really only two possible endpoints for human energy production, and they're both fusion. Either we find a way to create tiny, controlled fusion reactions here on Earth (fusion power) or we ...

MERCED, Calif. -- UC Merced has partnered with NASA on a unique project: creating spray-on solar cells that will allow them to make solar panels in space. "All of our energy in space comes from solar ...

Solar cells that combine traditional silicon with cutting-edge perovskites could push the efficiency of solar panels to new heights. Beyond Silicon, Caelux, First Solar, Hanwha Q Cells, Oxford PV, ...

Researchers have developed a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that achieves 26.4 percent efficiency. Unlike rigid silicon modules, the lightweight design can generate power on curved or flexible ...

A University of Sydney-led team has set a record for solar technology, creating the largest and most efficient ...

Companies say perovskite tandem solar cells are only a few years from bringing record efficiencies to a solar project near you. In Swift Solar’s lab, more than a dozen pairs of elbow-length rubber ...

Ultrathin solar cells save material and bend on surfaces but lose light. A gold nanostructured mirror with oxide boosts ...

Modern consumer solar technology offers quite a bit of variety, from standard panel designs with silicon materials to thin-film alternatives made of cadmium. So, what's all this about perovskite solar ...

Renewable sources, including solar, wind, and hydro, now produce roughly a quarter of America's electricity, and when combined with wind, make up 98% of new energy capacity in the US. But how do solar ...
