Tiny crystal “seeds” could solve a hidden flaw in perovskite solar cells—unlocking high efficiency at larger scales.

Researchers at the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering (NIMTE) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have found a new way to stick different layers of tandem solar cells and achieved ...

The basic technology behind Ambient Photonics’s solar cells is so simple that it’s routinely assembled as a high school science experiment. In labs across the US, students sandwich blackberries’ ...

Engineers at the University of New South Wales have developed a real-time monitoring technique that reveals how silicon solar cells can self-repair following ultraviolet-induced damage, offering new ...

Solar power is no longer inching forward, it is compounding. In laboratories and early commercial lines, scientists are stacking new materials, coatings, and designs that push panels far beyond the ...

Wang tells PV Tech Premium that copper offers a ‘a compelling combination’ of traits to replace silver. Image: AIKO. This Premium article, which was one of the most read Premium articles in 2025, has ...

Solar energy is a crucial part of our clean energy future, but a new, highly efficient solar material has a hurdle that needs to be addressed. A recent study reveals how a microscopic weak spot can ...

Professor Yoke Khin Yap and his research group are improving the efficiency of solar cells one quantum dot at a time. × To sustainably power our digital future, the world needs more — and more ...

The research group led by Professor Martin Green has published Version 66 of the solar cell efficiency tables. There are 17 new results reported in the new version. Furthermore, the tables comprise ...

The same dirt that clings to astronauts' boots may one day keep their lights on. Researchers created solar cells made out of simulated Moon dust. The cells convert sunlight into energy efficiently, ...

What if the future of solar energy didn’t rely on silicon or even the much-hyped perovskite? What if there was a more sustainable, durable, and cost-effective alternative waiting in the wings?
