Researchers had placed a cotton sheet on the back of a PV module, which was then made wet and cooled. On the front side, ...

"There is currently no efficient technology to deal with the waste of silicon panels. That's why old solar panels end up in the landfill. Huge mountains of electronic waste that you can't do anything ...

To this end, many countries around the world are imposing legal requirements on photovoltaic manufacturers, to ensure that they collect and recycle any solar cell waste they produce. These initiatives ...

Researchers show that Cartan's First Structure Equation, which relates to edge and screw dislocations in crystal lattices, can be recast in the same form as a basic mathematical formula that governs ...

Rotating black holes are the most powerful phenomenon in the known universe. Their powerful gravity radically alters the curvature of spacetime around them, leading to relativistic effects like time ...

A long-standing mystery about the Sun’s powerful solar flares has finally been solved. Scientists have confirmed a ...

Roland Winston, SB’56, SM’57, PhD’63—a pioneer in solar energy, engineering, and physics—died Feb. 8 at his home in ...

The farthest spacecraft from Earth are shutting off instruments in interstellar space, but their mission in interstellar ...

The performance of photovoltaic systems (PV) in northern conditions has been measured at the University of Oulu, Finland, ...

A new study by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign describes a breakthrough in the field of organic ...
