Research led by the University of Warwick will investigate a new type of solar cell material, which could be used in space, in a bid to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The European Research Council (ERC) has approved a five-year study which will delve into the atomic-level structure of a new type […]
Professor Lee Jong-won’s team of the Department of Energy Science and Engineering at DGIST (President: Kuk Yang), together with Professor Moon Jang-hyeok’s team from the Chung-Ang University, announced the development of solid electrolytes with enhanced atmospheric stability on Wednesday, December 7. Lithium ion batteries are widely used as energy storage systems for […]
Hybrid perovskites are materials made from metal halide frameworks interspersed with organic cations. They have attracted a lot of interest in the field of solar energy because of their light-harvesting capacity combined with a low cost of manufacturing, making perovskite solar cells (PSCs) prime candidates for replacing current silicon-based devices. Perovskites also show great […]
NASA astronauts on Thursday morning successfully attached a solar array on the International Space Station after a piece of space junk was determined to be flying dangerously close to the orbiting laboratory. Astronauts Josh Cassada and Frank Rubio began the spacewalk at 8:19 a.m. EST to install an International Space Station Roll-Out Solar Array, or […]
Demand for solar panels has shot up to unprecedented levels in Spain as Europe’s energy crisis shows no sign of letting up, in a welcome boost for a sector with huge potential. “Here we have sun almost all year round,” said Paloma Utrera showing off the black panels installed on her roof in Pozuelo de […]
For decades, scientists have been stumped by the signals plants send themselves to initiate photosynthesis, the process of turning sunlight into sugars. UC Riverside researchers have now decoded those previously opaque signals. For half a century botanists have known that the command center of a plant cell, the nucleus, sends instructions to […]
