A solar cell moonlights as an LED, both absorbing and emitting light more efficiently
Imagine a display that harvests ambient light when it is not actively in use, offsetting some of its own energy consumption.
Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric ...
A research team from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay has demonstrated an atomic layer deposition (ALD) method within a lower temperature process to apply a buffering layer of tin oxide (SnOx ...

The 130% solar cell: how a 'spin-flip' quantum trick produced more energy carriers than photons absorbed
A single photon goes in. Roughly 1.3 usable energy carriers come out. That is the result reported in May 2026 by a team at ...

Universal model sets standards for perovskite solar cells
Perovskite solar cells, PSCs, have emerged as one of the most promising renewable energy technologies of the past decade.
Researchers at University of Queensland (UQ) have developed a new type of indoor solar panel that is safer, more ...
A tiny change at the solar cell surface could unlock much higher efficiency, stronger stability, and more reliable ...
How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access even with advanced techniques. So far, researchers have relied mainly on X-ray ...
Solar panels have a way of sounding futuristic, until you realise they’re essentially doing something very old-fashioned: turning daylight into usable power. For homeowners, the appeal is simple. A ...
Researchers have developed a perovskite-organic tandem solar cell that achieves 26.4 percent efficiency. Unlike rigid silicon modules, the lightweight design can generate power on curved or flexible ...
