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.

A team of German researchers has developed a miniaturized solar cell experiment for nanosatellites. It was used to test samples of new mutlijunction solar cells developed by Azur Space, including ...

The Aydin Group at LMU Munich has unveiled a novel strategy for making perovskite solar cells more robust against extreme ...

Long before perovskite solar cells began smashing efficiency records and transforming the future of clean energy, their modern design first emerged from a quiet experiment at Northwestern University.

The previous solar efficiency record has now been broken, and this one could have ...

The LEEMONS project is researching nanostructured silicon that uses low-energy electron multiplication (LEEM) to allow one high-energy photon to generate multiple electrons, reducing energy losses in ...

A new world record for converting sunlight into electricity has been set, as announced by the German Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems, Soitec, CEA-Lets, and the Helmholtz Center in Berlin ...
