To most CleanTechnica readers, perovskites are something used in solar panels to make electricity. Now it appears they may have other uses as well. Researchers at the University of Birmingham in the UK have recently published a report in the Journal of Cleaner Production with this catchy title: Cost effective … [continued]
Solar energy has barely scratched the surface of its potential to decarbonize the global economy in time to avert catastrophic warming.
Researchers pass along great news about developing low cost, efficient solar cells based on perovskites, so have a happy [fossil energy] Independence Day.
A new material for next-generation solar cells has passed the proof of concept stage with a remarkable quantum efficiency of 190%.
The space solar race is on, as research teams in the US, the UK and elsewhere around the world take a wacky idea and make it real.
Corning’s Hemlock polysilicon venture in Michigan is getting a new $900 million neighbor to beef up the state’s solar industry.
Low cost, game-changing perovskite solar cells could make a detour through outer space on their way to Earthly applications.
