A future Moon base is closer to reality than ever before. With missions like Artemis 3 planned for 2026 and a lunar outpost on the horizon, one challenge stands in the way: energy. Getting enough ...

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a multi-source co-evaporation recipe ...

Combining two materials that selectively absorb short and long wavelengths, e.g., blue/green and red/infrared parts of the spectrum, makes the best use of our sunlight and is a well-known strategy to ...

The use of solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, has grown exponentially over the past decades.

A study conducted by Penn State University researchers has revealed that organic solar cells ...

Solar cells made of organic molecules offer many advantages over their silicon cousins. They are thin, lightweight, flexible, and printable on large areas. But make the devices bendy, and their ...

In a study published in Nature, researchers at Linköping University have developed a method to recycle all parts of a solar cell repeatedly without environmentally hazardous solvents. The recycled ...

Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have made a major breakthrough in producing ...

NASA's plan to establish a permanent human presence on the moon will require making better use of lunar resources. A new approach has now shown how to make solar cells out of moon dust. Later this ...

Vision of future solar cell fabrication on the Moon, utilizing raw regolith. Shown are robots that source raw regolith and bring it to a production facility, which fabricates perovskite-based moon ...
