A new “energy-multiplying” solar breakthrough could push efficiency beyond 100% and transform how we capture sunlight.
Beyond the rather low efficiency of today’s solar panels in converting the power of the sun into electricity, the ...
Scientists are always pushing the boundaries of solar cell efficiency – how much of the available sunshine gets turned into ...
A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a “spin-flip” metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result ...
A novel thin-film technology enables solar panels to generate electricity from both sunlight and raindrops.
Solar panels have a way of sounding futuristic, until you realise they’re essentially doing something very old-fashioned: turning daylight into usable power. For homeowners, the appeal is simple. A ...
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 ...
