by Clarence Oxford Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 23, 2026 A computer vision system developed at Columbia Engineering can determine how much energy a solar panel will generate over a year – and how much more it could generate if repositioned – using nothing more than a single 360-degree photograph taken from the panel’s location. […]
by Riko Seibo Seoul, South Korea (SPX) Apr 23, 2026 Sungkyunkwan University has published a comprehensive report analyzing technological advances and global research trends in perovskite solar cells, prepared jointly by the research group of Professor Nam-Gyu Park from the Department of Chemical Engineering and the university’s Performance Analysis Team, in collaboration with global academic […]
by Riko Seibo Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Apr 16, 2026 Perovskite solar cells have emerged as one of the most promising next-generation photovoltaic technologies, but their development still depends heavily on time-consuming trial-and-error synthesis and labor-intensive device fabrication. Researchers from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and collaborating institutions have now reported an agentic robotics system that […]
by Riko Seibo Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Apr 16, 2026 Inverted perovskite solar cells are widely considered the future of next-generation photovoltaics due to their high efficiency, low cost, and ease of manufacturing. A collaborative research team from the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has proposed a […]
by Riko Seibo Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Apr 16, 2026 Researchers have developed a fast prediction and suppression method for transient piston displacement overshoot in free piston Stirling generators, addressing a fault condition that can quickly escalate into mechanical damage in solar thermal power systems. The new approach detects dangerous overshoot without relying on displacement sensors […]
by Robert Schreiber Berlin, Germany (SPX) Apr 16, 2026 Using three-dimensional electron diffraction (3D ED), researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universitat (FAU) Erlangen-Nurnberg have demonstrated that electrons can provide the averaged structural information previously accessible only with X-rays. For the first time, this allows a comprehensive structural characterization of organic solar cells within a single instrument – a […]
