For solar power to truly provide affordable energy access, we need to deploy it better, say researchers
Small household solar power systems have been gaining traction—and investment—as a means to provide affordable and sustainable energy to those living without access to electricity. But new research ...
New solar energy research has demonstrated that electrons can move across solar panels at a speed far greater than previously understood.
For as long as we’ve been capturing the sun’s rays, the clouds have been the enemy. When the sky turns gray and the first drops fall, the steady stream of electrons from traditional solar panels slows ...

These microscopic gold ‘supraballs’ trap 90% of sunlight and could double solar power output
At any given moment, 89,000 terawatts of raw solar power is slamming into the Earth’s atmosphere. It is a mind-boggling amount of energy. But right now, our best technologies are essentially trying to ...
Tested and researched models we stand behind from Jackery, EcoFlow, Anker and more. Editor’s Note — February 2026: We’ve updated our story to make sure items are in stock and available, plus we added ...
By installing a thermoelectric generator onto the panels, that temperature difference can be harnessed to produce electricity. Basically, these panels can generate electricity thanks to how cold outer ...
Why aren’t the world’s deserts blanketed with solar panels, transforming barren landscapes into hubs of renewable energy? Below, Just Have a Think takes you through how deserts, seemingly perfect ...
Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. On the southern border of Senegal lies a small village called Keur ...
Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...
