Scientists at the Autonomous University of Querétaro in Mexico have discovered how to make perovskite solar cells, a type of thin-film cell, more stable and efficient without using traditional lead ...

NASA's plan to establish a permanent human presence on the moon will require making better use of lunar resources. A new approach has now shown how to make solar cells out of moon dust. Later this ...

Solar energy is fast becoming one of the most important sources of electricity generation in the US, with 7% of Americans using it to power their homes. However, while solar power affords a viable and ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new study from Hebrew University of Jerusalem has developed a semi-transparent, color-tunable solar cell to enhance 3D printing processes. A team led by Shlomo Magdassi and Lioz Etgar from the ...

Future lunar bases could be powered by solar cells made on-site from melted moon dust. Building items on the moon, using materials that are already there, would be more practical than shipping them ...

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’ ...

While they may appear to be insignificant, raindrops’ impact on surfaces can create measurable electrical signals when ...
