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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

A tiny change at the solar cell surface could unlock much higher efficiency, stronger stability, and more reliable ...

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 ...

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

Researchers at University of Queensland (UQ) have developed a new type of indoor solar panel that is safer, more ...

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 ...

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 ...
