Perovskites may sound like perogies or piroshkis, but no high-carb-cheese-and-potato-flavor-pocket can do what they do. They’re minerals that can do the same party trick as many of your favorite ...

Scientists develop near-invisible solar cells that could turn windows into power generators
Imagine a car whose windows and sunroof can help top up its battery while parked under the sun, or a pair of smart glasses whose lenses can harvest light to power built-in electronics.
One of the hindrances to large-scale solar adoption, especially in cities, is where to install the chunky panels. Rooftops?

Unlocking The Sun: How Solar Panels Really Work
To make these solar panels, Indian companies need PV cells—which are the small parts that convert sunlight into electricity. Since India doesn’t yet make enough of these cells on its own, it is ...
One of the most interesting updates in the solar energy space comes from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (via EES Solar), where researchers have developed 3D-printed, semi-transparent, flexible ...
Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...
Dendrimers enable perovskite solar cells to recover from moisture damage by capturing key components, allowing repeatable self-healing without sacrificing efficiency. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Solar panels ...
Various perovskite semiconductors for solar cells can be produced in glove boxes in the lab. Dr Artem Musiienko (right) heads the research group ‘Optoelectronic Materials and Photovoltaic Development’ ...
For solar panels, wringing every drop of energy from as many photons as possible is imperative. This goal has sent chemistry, materials science and electronic engineering researchers on a quest to ...
An array of personal and home devices could one day function battery-free following the development of pioneering new solar technology. These new solar cells are capable of harvesting energy from ...
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 ...
