solar cell

We've seen many great combinations throughout history, and we now have one more to add to the list. Lately, researchers at the Ohio State University have invented the world's first solar battery. It runs on light and air.

Scientists have been trying for decades to develop functional, flexible solar cells, because they could be integrated into fabrics and used to coat irregular shapes and surfaces. And now scientists at Fudan University in Shanghai have developed polymer solar cells that are light, flexible, cheap to produce, and thin enough to be used in fabrics.

To have solar energy, you are required to have solar cell. Until now, the solar cells that we have seen are nontransparent. But now, researchers in Michigan State University in the US, have developed transparent solar cells that can be used to cover windows, buildings or smartphone screens to produce solar energy.

German researchers are developing a new generation of solar cells to improve the energy conversion efficiency. A bunch of promising researchers from the Light Technology Institute of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) are the pioneers of this new project. The project is supposed to be finished in four years as it is the deal now which aims to…

Ford and SunPower team up to provide a high-efficiency rooftop solar system, put a hefty $10,000 price tag on one of its accessories. This system provide Focus Electric owners enough renewable energy production to offset the energy used for charging. The system was sized to accommodate a customer who drives about 1,000 miles per month. The complete…

University of Michigan researchers debut one-cubic-millimeter computer, world's first complete millimeter-scale computing system and it may one day be just about everywhere also want to stick it in your eye.One Cubic Millimeter Computer is a prototype sensor consumes just a few nanowatts and could take glucose readings from the eye........

All these robots are completely solar-powered and the £13.00 T3 Solar Robot/Tank/Scorpion will help impart valuable lessons, guiding your child to a promising future as a sun-harnessing…

Researchers at HP are close to developing a flexible wearable wrist-display that can be powered by sunlight. The devices can be used as computer displays and may one day be used by soldiers on the battlefield. Developing this technology has required a complete rethinking of how flexible displays are made. HP hopes to have practical samples…

Researchers at Caltech have developed bendy micro-meter wide solar cells that use just 1% of the silicon needed by a solar cell with the same output. What's more, cells do this with only 5% of the size. This could in the near future lead to cheap, flexible solar cell microfibers that could power a host of wearable gadgets. The base that…
