Solar physicists say they have found a key source of intense gamma rays unleashed when Earth's nearest star produces its most ...

Solar cells are made from semiconductors whose ability to respond to light is determined by their band gaps (energy gaps). Different colors have different energies, and no single semiconductor has a ...

Researchers developed a solar collector with a dielectric Bragg mirror, optimizing energy conversion by separating sunlight ...

New research has uncovered a critical challenge in solar energy with the discovery that a considerable number of solar panels ...

(Nanowerk News) The sunlight received by Earth is a mixed bag of wavelengths ranging from ultraviolet to visible to infrared. Each wavelength carries inherent energy that, if effectively harnessed, ...

A novel dye-sensitized photocatalyst developed at Science Tokyo enables the capture of long-wavelength visible light for efficient hydrogen conversion, surpassing conventional photocatalysts.

A new single molecule can absorb the full spectrum of sunlight and turn it into valuable hydrogen. Freeing hydrogen to use as fuel is a major science holy grail in the 21st century. Costly, ...

Korean researchers have developed transparent solar windows that generate power day and night using sunlight and indoor ...

Researchers in Canada have conducted a series of simulations to understand how spectrum splitters may raise the efficiency of two-terminal tandem solar cells and have found that efficiency gains may ...

Independent Franco-Irish group Amarenco, a producer of green energy on three continents, has acquired leading Jordanian renewable energy company Spectrum International in order to strengthen its ...
