So, they have a much broader range of applications than conventional silicon-based solar cells. And they are far less ...

so if one of the small cells fails a large percentage of the panel may be rendered useless with no way to repair it. A solar development kit like this one from a group called Biosphere Solar is ...

Attosecond science, the laser-led study of what happens to matter over very short timescales, could lead to major advances in ...

A recent study from the University of Michigan investigated the impact of proton radiation — a major threat in space — on ...

Perovskite is a new type of solar cell that can outperform the silicon-based cells found in most of today’s solar panels in ...

The solar cell design features indium gallium ... which minimizes edge effects and boosts voltage in small cells. A back contact is added, followed by a cleaning step that further enhances voltage.

which is currently powered by an LDO regulator and a small solar cell. While this is fairly energy efficient, the energy harvesters that he is testing with this build will go far beyond what an ...

Conventional silicon solar cells degrade rapidly in space, and gallium arsenide cells are heavy and inflexible. Research from ...

They said they tried to overcome shunting, which is a typical issue when scaling up perovskite solar technologies from small-area cells to large-area devices. “Shunts” in PV cells create ...

Developing high-performance and mechanically robust active-layer systems is crucial to commercializing flexible organic solar cells. Here, authors design small molecule acceptors with ethyl ester ...

Academia Sinica today announced a breakthrough in next-generation solar cell technology that is about 30 percent more ...
