Chinese scientists have pushed perovskite tandem solar cells past the critical 30 percent efficiency ...

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 ...

Flexible solar panels are lightweight, portable and useful for curved surfaces, but they are not right for every setup. Here’s how they compare with standard panels ...

Imagine a display that harvests ambient light when it is not actively in use, offsetting some of its own energy consumption.

Perovskite solar cells, PSCs, have emerged as one of the most promising renewable energy technologies of the past decade. Besides their remarkable power conversion rates, perovskites are lightweight ...

A new study has revealed a surprisingly simple way to improve one of the biggest weaknesses of next-generation solar cells.

A single photon goes in. Roughly 1.3 usable energy carriers come out. That is the result reported in May 2026 by a team at ...

CEA’s 2026 manufacturing quality report finds that yield rates vary widely based on the age of solar module assembly ...

Imagine a screen that can power itself when you are not using it. Instead of just sitting idle, it could collect light from ...

Perovskite solar cells are a promising alternative to traditional silicon solar panels but have poor durability. Professor Ted Sargent, Research associate professor Bin Chen, Postdoctoral fellows ...

How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access even with advanced techniques. So far, researchers have relied mainly on X-ray ...

Researchers have developed a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that achieves 26.4 percent efficiency. Unlike rigid silicon modules, the lightweight design can generate power on curved or flexible ...
