The lab-scale, near-white heterojunction solar cell uses nanoclay-based scattering layers combined with dielectric multilayer films to preserve power conversion efficiency while enhancing visual ...

A group of scientists from Chinese solar module maker Longi has described in a new scientific paper the 27.81%-efficient hybrid interdigitated back-contact (HIBC) solar cell it unveiled in April 2025.

A team from the University of Stuttgart, together with international researchers, has succeeded in enhancing both the efficiency and environmental resilience of perovskite solar cells. This is another ...

A team of researchers from Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) and German technology company LPKF Laser & Electronics SE have developed a low-temperature ...

Despite being riddled with impurities and defects, solution-processed lead-halide perovskites are surprisingly efficient at converting solar energy into electricity. Their efficiency is approaching ...

Terrestrial-based data centers are power-constrained, land-intensive, and consume significant volumes of water for cooling. Space-based data centers are freed from these environmentally intensive and ...
