HZB researchers achieved a record 29.8% solar cell efficiency in late 2021, and in summer 2022, the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, reported a certified solar tandem cell ...

Scientists have detected the sun emitting an extraordinary amount of gamma rays — light wavelengths known to carry the most energy of any other wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Scientists have constructed the first complete proton energy spectrum observed during an eruptive solar event in Martian space, deepening our understanding of the radiation environment around Mars ...

The polymer enables a solution processed tandem solar cell with certified 10.6% power conversion efficiency under standard reporting conditions (25 °C, 1,000 Wm−2, IEC 60904-3 global), which is ...

Spiky, nanoscale gold spheres, similar in shape to a pufferfish — and powered by nothing more than sunlight — have successfully split water into the oxygen and hydrogen needed for fuel cells ...

Human impact on solar radiation levels for decades Date: February 18, 2021 Source: ETH Zurich Summary: Based on the long-term Potsdam radiation time series, researchers have shown that variations ...

A: The Sun emits light in virtually every part of the electromagnetic spectrum, albeit some more than others. The sunlight that we see — aptly named visible light — falls into only a very ...

They wrote, "an enhancement in the energetic portion of the solar radiation spectrum may indicate increased biological risk to astronauts or passengers and crew in high latitude, high altitude ...

What are solar flares? Solar energetic particles (SEP) are another constant source of radiation. A stream of high-energy particles that comes our way every day and night from the Sun, Earth’s ...

It seems graphene, the single layer of carbon atoms that can supercharge computer chips, optical circuits, lithium-ion batteries, and solar power generation, might have a competitor: a rare earth ...

Multiferroic films are increasingly being studied for applications in solar energy conversion because of their efficient ferroelectric polarization-driven carrier separation and above-bandgap ...
