Perovskite solar cells have gained a lot of attention in research circles recently owing to significant and relatively fast leaps in its efficiency, but the toxic lead they contain is something ...

"Currently, solar cells capturing energy from indoor light are expensive and inefficient. Our specially engineered perovskite indoor solar cells can harvest much more energy than commercial cells and ...

From Wi-Fi-connected home security systems to smart toilets, the so-called Internet of Things brings personalization and convenience to devices that help run homes. But with that comes tangled ...

As compared to their more commonly-seen counterparts that utilize crystalline silicon semiconductors, organic solar cells are thin, flexible, lightweight and cheap, allowing for their application in a ...

Indoor solar panels are gaining momentum as a smart solution for powering low-energy electronic devices. Unlike traditional solar panels, these are designed to harvest electricity from artificial ...

Solar power is an increasingly mainstream technology, and you can now get solar chargers for your phone, solar-powered clothes, and rollable solar panels. But most of us spend most of our time indoors ...

Chemists have synthesized materials that can improve solar elements for indoor use. Such photovoltaic cells, which can also be integrated into various electronic devices, generate electricity even in ...

It’s 3:00 a.m., and you are blissfully deep in slumber. Suddenly, a sharp, short beep rudely wakes you. The low-battery warning of a carbon monoxide alarm going off in the middle of the night is ...

When you think about solar panels on a house, you picture them on the roof. Considering the sun is outside in the sky, this makes sense. But solar panels can also be placed in windows or on walls, and ...
