There are really only two possible endpoints for human energy production, and they're both fusion. Either we find a way to create tiny, controlled fusion reactions here on Earth (fusion power) or we ...

Global electricity use is increasing rapidly and must be addressed sustainably. Developing new materials could give us much ...

From kinetic and potential to chemical and sound, various forms of energy exist on our planet. Each has its own properties and fuel processes that make aspects of life possible, including driving a ...

MERCED, Calif. -- UC Merced has partnered with NASA on a unique project: creating spray-on solar cells that will allow them to make solar panels in space. "All of our energy in space comes from solar ...

Solar cells that combine traditional silicon with cutting-edge perovskites could push the efficiency of solar panels to new heights. Beyond Silicon, Caelux, First Solar, Hanwha Q Cells, Oxford PV, ...

Researchers have developed a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that achieves 26.4 percent efficiency. Unlike rigid silicon modules, the lightweight design can generate power on curved or flexible ...

On the outskirts of Brandenburg an der Havel, Germany, nestled among car dealerships and hardware shops, sits a two-storey factory stuffed with solar-power secrets. It’s here where UK firm Oxford PV ...

Modern consumer solar technology offers quite a bit of variety, from standard panel designs with silicon materials to thin-film alternatives made of cadmium. So, what's all this about perovskite solar ...

Renewable sources, including solar, wind, and hydro, now produce roughly a quarter of America's electricity, and when combined with wind, make up 98% of new energy capacity in the US. But how do solar ...
