A future Moon base is closer to reality than ever before. With missions like Artemis 3 planned for 2026 and a lunar outpost ...

Melting moon dust, found at the bottom of astronaut's shoes, would save on costly, heavy transport of solar cells in space.

Researchers at EPFL have found a way to dramatically reduce energy loss and boost efficiency in perovskite solar cells by ...

Perovskite solar cells can be made by creating a thin ... By adding nanoparticles to the formula that delay the chemical degradation of the material, they created a device that lasted 1,530 ...

A solar cell is made of two types of semiconductors, called p-type and n-type silicon. The p-type silicon is produced by adding atoms—such as boron or gallium—that have one less electron in their ...

Perovskite cells are much cheaper and more flexible than their silicon alternatives, but they have major durability problems. A new breakthrough could be about to change that.

US-based aerospace manufacturer and small satellite launch service provider Rocket Lab USA Inc has presented a new space-grade solar cell based on a cell technology developed by space solar cell ...

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, ...
