This has great implications for improvements in solar cell efficiency Latest research finds that the trailblazing ‘perovskite’ material used in solar cells can double up as a laser, strongly... Read more
That they have the potential to produce cheaper electricity than coal-fired generators can SUNLIGHT is free, but that is no reason to waste it. Yet even the best silicon solar cells—by far t... Read more
Their modification can increase solar cell efficiency by more than 30 percent. Researchers from North Carolina State University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences have found an easy way to... Read more
Solar cells offer the opportunity to harvest abundant, renewable energy. Although the highest energy light occurs in the ultraviolet and visible spectrum, most solar energy is in the infrare... Read more
Did you know that crystals form the basis for the penetrating icy blue glare of car headlights and could be fundamental to the future in solar energy technology? Crystals are at the heart of... Read more
“That raises the theoretical efficiency of the cell to 80 percent, which is quite remarkable.” Scientists have created a heat-resistant thermal emitter that could significantly i... Read more
