A research group from Singapore has offered to reuse silicon from end-of-life photovoltaics in high-performance thermoelectric devices that convert heat into electricity. “Our method can be applied to ...

The company’s new scientific paper, published in Nature, reveals that its hybrid interdigitated back-contact (HIBC) solar cell achieved a record-breaking efficiency of 27.81%, marking a major step ...

Solar panels are mostly made of silicon, which derives from sand. Here's how that abundant substance is transformed into something that generates electricity. If you're looking to install a solar ...

When opting to use solar panels as a power source for your home or business, the choices tend to revolve around where to place them and how big they should be. But there's at least one more decision ...

Were it not for the thin sheath of water and carbon-based life covering it, our home planet would perhaps be best known as the “Silicon World.” More than a quarter of the mass of the Earth’s crust is ...

Apple's transition to OLED displays in the iPad Mini 8 represents a pivotal advancement in display technology. The shift from the traditional IPS LCD found in the iPad Mini 7 to an OLED screen ...

Prof. YE Jichun's team from the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), along with researchers from Soochow University, have ...

An international group of scientists investigated the use of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) as an anti-reflection coating for polycrystalline silicon solar cells. “The primary ...

If you were to travel back in time to the turn of the previous century and try to convince the average person that the grains of sand on just about any beach would be the basis of an industry worth ...
