Scientists have long dreamed of discovering the alchemy by which chemicals can be turned into life. On Wednesday, a team at the University of Minnesota announced that it had taken a major step toward ...

China's Trina Solar has set a new world record for commercial-scale solar efficiency, achieving 29.2% conversion efficiency and 907 watts of output using advanced perovskite-silicon tandem technology.

One of the hindrances to large-scale solar adoption, especially in cities, is where to install the chunky panels. Rooftops? Skyscraper walls? Vast open spaces that dense urban centers barely have in ...

Imagine a display that harvests ambient light when it is not actively in use, offsetting some of its own energy consumption. The materials physics shows that this is possible, the same semiconductor ...

NEW DELHI, April 21 (Reuters) - India is staring at a severe shortage of solar cells as new rules from June mandate the use of locally made cells, a move that could derail some ‌clean energy projects, ...

Suniva is planning a major expansion in US solar manufacturing, with a new 4.5-gigawatt (GW) solar cell factory coming to Laurens, South Carolina. The company says the facility is expected to open in ...

April 14 (Reuters) - U.S. solar manufacturer Suniva said on Tuesday it will invest $350 million in a South Carolina cell factory, with production starting in early 2027. The facility will represent a ...

NORCROSS, Ga. & LAURENS, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Suniva, the largest and oldest U.S. manufacturer of high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon solar cells, today announced that it has entered agreements ...

Energy can never be created or destroyed. That's basic Physics 101. You simply cannot create energy out of thin air. Yet researchers at Kyushu University in Japan say they have developed a technology ...
