Traditional solar cells harvest only a narrow sliver of the electromagnetic energy pouring down onto Earth, and that's one of the reasons it's been so challenging to get solar efficiency beyond 20-30 ...

A novel dye-sensitized photocatalyst developed at Science Tokyo enables the capture of long-wavelength visible light for ...

Turning sunlight into clean hydrogen fuel is one of the most promising ways to produce energy without carbon emissions.

The Sun has captivated humanity for millennia. And yet, despite being our closest star, studying it is not easy. Its blinding ...

Solar cells are one of the most important technologies in the transition to renewable energy, but there’s still plenty of room for improvement. Researchers at New York University (NYU) Tandon have now ...

Solar cells are made from semiconductors whose ability to respond to light is determined by their band gaps (energy gaps). Different colors have different energies, and no single semiconductor has a ...

Researchers have created a dye-sensitized photocatalyst that captures long-wavelength visible light to double solar hydrogen ...

This work, which verifies one of the predictions of Einstein's General Relativity, is to be published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics. The General Theory of Relativity, published by Albert ...
