Today’s solar panels are flat, and for good reason: A lack of texture maximizes the amount of surface area exposed to sunlight at a given time, regardless of where the Sun sits in the sky. However, by ...

A coating of solar cells with special organic molecules could pave the way for a new generation of solar panels. As a research team reports in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition, this ...

Solar power is growing faster than any other energy source. Yet silicon, the workhorse of the industry, is close to its physical efficiency limit. The most advanced silicon panels can convert just ...
