A device that can harvest water from the air and provide hydrogen fuel-entirely powered by solar energy-has been a dream for researchers for decades. Now, EPFL chemical engineer Kevin Sivula and his team have made a significant step towards bringing this vision closer to reality. They have developed an ingenious yet simple […]
What region of the US is the best for solar and why? Florida. Unsurprisingly, the Sunshine State is a great place to go solar. Not only does our home star shine brightly here, but the average annual temperature is 72 degrees. It’s a perfect recipe in a way. Which region of the US has the […]
“For the perovskite film, there are some factors influencing the intrinsic material stability,” said paper author Qi Chen, professor from Beijing Key Laboratory of Construction Tailorable Advanced Functional Materials and Green Applications, MIIT Key Laboratory for Low-Dimensional Quantum Structure and Devices, Experimental Center of Advanced Materials, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Beijing Institute […]
Harnessing the power of the sun is currently very much in vogue. In late 2022, US scientists announced a nuclear fusion breakthrough that could lead to a clean, renewable, and essentially unlimited source of energy powering the world within a few decades. In reality, we have been using the power of the sun in a […]
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 […]
If you park in one of the commuter lots on Michigan State University’s campus, you’ll likely get a premium parking spot. Because each parking lot is protected from sun, snow and rain by means of solar panels. They are mounted above the lot on steel structures tall enough to park under RV tailgaters. In addition […]
