Imagine a car whose windows and sunroof can help top up its battery while parked under the sun, or a pair of smart glasses ...

A new kind of near-invisible solar cell could one day help everyday glass surfaces generate electricity. This could include car windows and sunroofs, smart glasses, wearables, building façades, and ...

Perovskites may sound like perogies or piroshkis, but no high-carb-cheese-and-potato-flavor-pocket can do what they do. They’re minerals that can do the same party trick as many of your favorite ...

Halide perovskites are gaining ground on silicon as a critical material for solar cell technologies: A new study published in the journal Science reports a method to make perovskite-based ...

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...

To make these solar panels, Indian companies need PV cells—which are the small parts that convert sunlight into electricity. Since India doesn’t yet make enough of these cells on its own, it is ...

One of the most interesting updates in the solar energy space comes from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (via EES Solar), where researchers have developed 3D-printed, semi-transparent, flexible ...

Scientists in Singapore have developed ultrathin solar cells that could one day turn car ...

Dendrimers enable perovskite solar cells to recover from moisture damage by capturing key components, allowing repeatable self-healing without sacrificing efficiency. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Solar panels ...

Various perovskite semiconductors for solar cells can be produced in glove boxes in the lab. Dr Artem Musiienko (right) heads the research group ‘Optoelectronic Materials and Photovoltaic Development’ ...

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 ...
