Solar powered chemistry has one downfall—reactions stop at night. Now scientists have a solution

With 149 high-performance xenon short-arc lamps to mimic natural solar radiation, the key focus of Synlight is on the creation of solar fuels for a commercially viable source of renewable energy

Berkeley Lab researchers make thermochromic windows with perovskite solar cell

The new findings demonstrated an increase in the rate at which the material conducts protons when it is simply illuminated with sunlight

Engineered quantum dots could bring down the cost of solar electricity

Researchers at the University of Tokyo invent semi-transparent solar cell for efficient power generation

Using X-ray beams and lasers, researchers studied how a new promising class of solar cell materials, called hybrid perovskites, behaves at the nanoscale level during operation

Recent findings could be used in a simple and inexpensive biodegradable device for water purification

Energy from the sun and a block of wood smaller than an adult’s hand are the only components needed to heat water to its steaming point in these devices

UC Riverside research invokes quantum mechanical processes that occur when two atomically thin materials are stacked together
