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 ...

It might sound counterintuitive to put solar cells indoors, but there’s still plenty of light energy inside that’s largely going to waste. Now, a team of engineers is claiming to have created flexible ...

"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 ...

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 ...

A Swedish government agency is investing SEK 130 million ($13.8 million) in the next-generation indoor solar cell technology belonging to Exeger. The company’s Powerfoyle solar cells are an evolution ...

In your home, you probably have a handful of gadgets that rely on batteries: remotes, smoke detectors, wireless keyboards. But instead of having to replace those batteries again and again, those ...

What just happened? Researchers at University College London have developed a new type of solar cell capable of efficiently generating power from indoor light, a breakthrough that could reduce ...

It’s time for a revolution where sunlight would be harnessed to transform the energy system in addition to the copious, boisterous, and mammoth solar expenses, either panels on the roof or a whole ...

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 ...
