NASA's plan to establish a permanent human presence on the moon will require making better use of lunar resources. A new approach has now shown how to make solar cells out of moon dust. Later this ...

Solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electricity, are now widely used in many countries worldwide. Over the ...

Vision of future solar cell fabrication on the Moon, utilizing raw regolith. Shown are robots that source raw regolith and bring it to a production facility, which fabricates perovskite-based moon ...

Research appearing in Communications Materials has shown that perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are remarkably resilient to dust ...

Swansea University researchers found that perovskite solar cells can tolerate dusty fabrication environments, performing almost as well as those made in cleanrooms. The findings suggest low-cost, ...

New research has shown that perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are remarkably resilient to dust during production, challenging the ...

Perovskite solar cells are a high-efficiency, low-cost alternative to traditional silicon-based solar panels. With the perovskite solar cell industry expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2033, there’s ...

You may have noticed grid lines on the surface of solar panels. Turns out these lines serve an essential purpose that goes ...

What if the next leap in renewable energy doesn't come from sleek silicon panels but from microscopic life forms? Scientists are exploring the potential of living solar panels—a revolutionary ...

A future Moon base is closer to reality than ever before. With missions like Artemis 3 planned for 2026 and a lunar outpost on the horizon, one challenge stands in the way: energy. Getting enough ...
