Size matters in solar physics. Scientists in Germany may have just unlocked the next ...

Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) could conquer the mass market within a few years, perhaps even being produced in Europe. Their ...

Although the efficiency of organic solar cells has now risen to more than 20%, there are physical limits that make it ...

The research team of Professor Wang Mingtai at the Institute of Solid State Physics, Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, ...

Imagine a display that harvests ambient light when it is not actively in use, offsetting some of its own energy consumption. The materials physics shows that this is possible, the same semiconductor ...

What if the next generation of solar panels could be more efficient, cheaper to produce, and made from more abundant ...

An international team led by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has used ionic salt for the electron transport layer of a perovskite solar cell to improve device stability and ...

Researchers from the University of Arkansas in the United States have fabricated a graphene-based solar cell that can be used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The device was developed in the ...

Energy can never be created or destroyed. That's basic Physics 101. You simply cannot create energy out of thin air. Yet researchers at Kyushu University in Japan say they have developed a technology ...

Researchers used an ultrathin chlorinated polymer layer to cut charge losses and set efficiency records for all-PbS quantum ...
