Imagine a display that harvests ambient light when it is not actively in use, offsetting some of its own energy consumption. The materials physics shows that this is possible, the same semiconductor ...

ZnSc 2 S 4 exhibits a direct bandgap and can emit light from orange to blue. Its composition can be chemically tuned to switch between n-type and p-type conduction over nine orders of magnitude, ...

One of the hindrances to large-scale solar adoption, especially in cities, is where to install the chunky panels. Rooftops?

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.

Solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, are now widely used in many countries and are contributing ...
