Japan is pushing solar hydrogen into a new phase by teaching its materials to drink in colors of sunlight that used to go to ...

A novel dye-sensitized photocatalyst developed at Science Tokyo enables the capture of long-wavelength visible light for ...

Arable land is at an all-time premium. Since the last ice age, humans have cleared one-third of the earth’s forests and two-thirds of its wild grasslands, much of it for agriculture. And as the world ...

(Nanowerk News) The sunlight received by Earth is a mixed bag of wavelengths ranging from ultraviolet to visible to infrared. Each wavelength carries inherent energy that, if effectively harnessed, ...

Turning sunlight into clean hydrogen fuel is one of the most promising ways to produce energy without carbon emissions.

Solar filters emit a red light over tomato plants growing in a research field at UC Davis in 2022. The work further tests the findings of a UC Davis study showing plants in agrivoltaic systems respond ...

All objects that have temperature release thermal radiation, which is electromagnetic radiation. The solar radiation spectrum is the most representative type of thermal radiation since it enters the ...

Perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells are considered a key technology for photovoltaics. Because of their design, they use sunlight more efficiently than conventional silicon cells. While the upper ...
