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 ...

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

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 ...

"It presented the possibility that transparent silicon solar cells can be used in various industries such as small devices as ...

Perovskite solar cells are attracting attention as next-generation solar cells. These cells have high efficiency, are flexible, and can be printed, among other features. However, lead was initially ...

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

From cells to module The study’s small area perovskite solar cell measured 0.1 cm2 with an open circuit of 1.13 V, a short-circuit current density of 21.6 mA cm−2, a fill factor of 74.3% ...

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 ...

Many are familiar with so-called photovoltaic cells, or solar panels, found on things like spacecraft, rooftops, and handheld calculators. The cells are made of semiconductor materials like those ...
