In a new Nature Physics paper, researchers report the first experimental observation of the transverse Thomson effect, a key thermoelectric phenomenon that has eluded scientists since it was predicted ...

Wood-burning stoves are a common way to heat homes, but they can also create dangerous levels of pollution. A group at Oregon ...

States are implementing the use of renewable sources of energy. In desert regions like Arizona, Nevada, and California, solar ...

With the transition to advanced renewable technology, preserving the old while making way for the new is hard. This company's ...

India’s buying of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells from China went up by 141%. This big rise is likely because India is now ...

China's latest discovery of high-purity quartz could reshape global tech supply chains. With millions of tons of this critical material now under its control, the country is poised to make a ...

Photovoltaic modules are very sensitive to the reduction of solar irradiation due to shading. Shading can be caused by a fixed obstacle (wall, tree or even a simple pillar) or in case of ...

Renewable Energy Resources (RER) are growing steadily and they are projected to supply all the electricity demand in the future. Currently, wind and solar energy resources have the highest rates of ...

These findings elucidate the role of the stress-stabilized rhombohedral phase and dual-phase structure in enhancing ferroelectric photovoltaic effects. These results contribute to the exploration of ...

Interdigitated hybrid films consisting of cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanorod arrays and interpenetrating polybithiophene have been synthesized by electrochemical depositions. The vertically aligned CdS ...

A phenomenon called the bulk photovoltaic effect, which has attracted much attention in recent years, may enable highly efficient solar energy conversion without such limitations.

In the natural world, many things come in mirror-image pairs. Your left and right hands are a perfect example—they look alike but can’t be perfectly superimposed. This idea, called chirality or ...
