It's part of research — detailed in an abstract published by Nature Energy — happening at Purdue and Emory universities to ...

Learn how to build a simple solar cell at home using copper tape, plastic cups, and water. This step-by-step science experiment demonstrates how to harness solar energy to generate electricity.

At a recent solar energy trade show, the first thing anyone would note is that solar cells are cheaper than ever before. Perhaps second, is that solar vendors had all sorts of solar panels. There were ...

These cells could be laminated onto various kinds of surfaces, such as the sails of a boat to provide power while at sea.

It is not easy to bring new technologies from the laboratory to market. Researchers and companies face very different demands for new developments and do not always find common ground. Scientists at ...

PV is breaking new ground with a video series that reveals the entire process of making perovskite solar cells, from bare substrate to finished, tested modules. For the first time, viewers can see ...

Researchers from the University of Arkansas in the United States have fabricated a graphene-based solar cell that can be used in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. The device was developed in the ...
