Optimising electrical balance-of-system architecture offers a solution to voltage drop in utility-scale solar while ...

At the far edge of the Solar System, where the Sun’s influence thins into the dark between the stars, a pair of aging ...

Long before perovskite solar cells began smashing efficiency records and transforming the future of clean energy, their ...

As someone who's spent the better part of the last year testing smart home gadgets, from robotic vacuums to security cameras, ...

More than a decade ago, Northwestern chemists and materials scientists reported in Nature the first solid-state solar cell based on a halide perovskite semiconductor — an advance that ultimately ...

When launching Tesla’s solar roof tiles nearly a decade ago, Elon Musk said they would cost less than a regular roof, last twice as long, and slash or even eliminate homeowners’ utility bills. “Why ...

New measurements of radio galaxies reveal that the solar system is racing through the universe at over three times the speed predicted by standard cosmology. Using highly sensitive data from multiple ...

The Kuiper belt, a disc of icy rocks on the outermost edges of the solar system, seems to have more structure than we thought. In 2011, researchers found a cluster of objects there on similar orbits ...

How fast and in which direction is our solar system moving through the universe? This seemingly simple question is one of the key tests of our cosmological understanding. A research team led by ...

Illustration comparing the planets of the Solar System and the Sun on the same scale. The planets are shown to scale relative to each other but their distances are not. From left to right the bodies ...

A recent report details a waterless solar cleaning system design developed to address the challenge of dust accumulation on solar panels in arid regions; it is one of multiple waterless cleaning ...

An interstellar object known as 3I/ATLAS has gathered a significant amount of attention in the planetary science sphere, and soon it will reach its closest point to the sun. 3I/ATLAS is the third-ever ...
