Researchers are harnessing next-generation photovoltaics materials to create a fast, accurate testing mechanism for harmful compounds In a colourful solution to a dangerous problem, Australian scientists are adapting a component from cutting-edge solar cells to design a rapid, light-based detection system for deadly toxins. While use of chemical warfare agents like sulfur mustard – better […]
SMARTPHONES COULD BE CHARGED BY INVISIBLE SOLAR PANELS HIDDEN IN SCREEN, SCIENTISTS SAY
Smartphones in the future could be powered by invisible solar panels built into the device’s screen. Adding the ability to charge from the Sun, by using the glass in the screen, has long been a dream of phone users. But the materials to make it practically possible are lacking, making such technology difficult to […]
Scientists in Saudi Arabia push the boundaries of solar power further
DUBAI : New research by a leading Saudi university has shown promising results in renewable energy by using atmospheric water vapor to cool down solar panels. The project, of the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), has been able to deliver an almost 20 percent increase in electricity generation. “As the climate crisis […]
