After experimenting with a mathematical model to avoid having to source expensive parts and finding himself at a deadend with that method, eventually a bi-directional load cell was placed inside ...

The US installed 50 GW of new solar capacity in 2024, the most new capacity added in a single year of any energy technology in over two decades.

Many are familiar with so-called photovoltaic cells, or solar panels, found on things like spacecraft, rooftops, and handheld calculators. The cells are made of semiconductor materials like those ...

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 ...

A new study by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign describes a breakthrough in the field of organic ...
