Discover how to build a simple solar cell at home using everyday materials! This step-by-step tutorial demonstrates how to repurpose an aluminum can, a CD, copper wire, toothpaste, lemon juice, and a ...

A novel thin-film technology enables solar panels to generate electricity from both sunlight and raindrops.

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 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 ...

A salt called guanidinium thiocyanate can improve the efficiency and stability of perovskite solar cells, a new class of semiconductor that could make solar power cheaper and more powerful, according ...

A study carried out at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC), in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, presents a new way to mitigate the rapid degradation of perovskite solar cells. The problem, which ...

Researchers in Switzerland have fabricated a perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells that utilizes a heterojunction cell as bottom device. The cell is said to circumvent the film formation issue ...
