Solar cells that you can roll up and carry from place to place have been a headline promise for years in the materials science subfield of flexible electronics. The technology made a big-stage debut ...

An international research team led by the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia has developed a 3D/2D perovskite solar cell based on a meta-amidinopyridine (MAP) ...

Nanotechnology enables the use of materials with unique optical, electrical, and thermal properties. These materials can be engineered to absorb sunlight more efficiently, reduce energy loss, and ...

The research advanced the durability of perovskite solar cells without compromising their exceptional efficiency, moving closer to a practical, low-cost alternative to silicon-based photovoltaics.

Scientists in Spain have developed an amorphous-silicon solar cell that could be used in both transparent photovoltaics and tandem applications. The device reportedly achieves notable efficiency ...

Crystalline-silicon solar panels are efficient, reliable, and dominate the solar-panel market. However, new third-gen solar technology could do what c-Si solar panels cannot, including flexible, ...
