Professor Yoke Khin Yap and his research group are improving the efficiency of solar cells one quantum dot at a time. × To sustainably power our digital future, the world needs more — and more ...

The sight of solar panels installed on rooftops and large energy farms has become commonplace in many regions around the world. Even in grey and rainy UK, solar power is becoming a major player in ...

Nanotechnology enables the use of materials with unique optical, electrical, and thermal properties. These materials can be engineered to absorb sunlight more efficiently, reduce energy loss, and ...

In a study published in Nature, researchers at Linköping University have developed a method to recycle all parts of a solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous solvents. The recycled ...

Canadian solar panel maker Heliene and India’s solar cell maker Premier Energies are joining forces to build a US solar cell factory. This is great news for the US, as there is currently a shortage of ...

The research advanced the durability of perovskite solar cells without compromising their exceptional efficiency, moving closer to a practical, low-cost alternative to silicon-based photovoltaics.

Higher-efficiency solar cells can generate more electricity from the same amount of sunlight.

The mark could point to more powerful, lower-cost solar products down the line.

Japan-based technology company Sharp Corporation offers a range of space-qualified compound solar cells for use in low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and other spacecraft. It recently exhibited its ...
