Researchers in Singapore have developed fully vacuum-processed ultrathin perovskite solar cells with absorber layers as thin as 10 nm, achieving high transparency and stable efficiencies up to 12%.

A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a “spin-flip” metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result ...

A new study reports that machine learning with computer simulations could improve efficiency to 40.17 % in CH3NH3SnI3 ...

Perovskites are semiconducting materials that have rapidly transformed the field of optoelectronics, demonstrating ...

In space, satellites face brutal temperature shifts from hot sunlight to freezing shadows. For ...

Two stacked layers comprise tandem solar cells (TSCs), with each subcell absorbing different wavelengths of sunlight, which ...

The Aydin Group at LMU Munich has unveiled a novel strategy for making perovskite solar cells more robust against extreme temperature fluctuations. To this end, the researchers led by Dr. Erkan Aydin, ...

Researchers in Sweden developed a bifacial chalcoprite solar cell using a titanium-doped indium oxide (ITiO) back contact, achieving 68% bifaciality. The device is able to maintain strong front-side ...

New visual AI capabilities help utilities analyze solar inspection data, detect defects and prioritize maintenance to ...

When the clocks change and afternoons start getting dark by midday, it’s easy to question whether solar panels are worth having through winter. Shorter days and overcast skies can make it feel as if ...

The European Space Agency (ESA) has managed to re-establish contact with one of the two Proba-3 spacecraft, after losing it ...
