How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access ...

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the ...

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 ...

Scientists are always pushing the boundaries of solar cell efficiency – how much of the available sunshine gets turned into ...

In a previous article, I wrote that if you were to start a solar business, the Nordic region would not be the obvious choice, and yet the challenges of doing so have created a thriving sector. But ...

Energy can never be created or destroyed. That's basic Physics 101. You simply cannot create energy out of thin air. Yet ...

Perovskite solar cells are a promising alternative to traditional silicon solar panels but have poor durability. Professor Ted Sargent, Research associate professor Bin Chen, Postdoctoral fellows ...

Musket balls that have been buried in soil for hundreds of years can be converted into a key ingredient for next-generation ...

Materials research suffers from trial-and-error synthesis and fabrication, while the resulting numerical datasets fail to ...

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 ...
