Discovering new materials could drive forward areas such as green technology and advanced electronics.

Solar cells made with organic materials could be better than conventional silicon and gallium arsenide for generating power in space.

A new innovation not only simplifies the production process for solar cells but also increased efficiency, researchers report.

Researchers have found a way to super-charge the ‘engine’ of sustainable fuel generation – by giving the materials a little twist.

Researchers have engineered a new perovskite solar cell that is stable and energy efficient.

Using X-rays to see inside the human body has revolutionised non-invasive medical diagnostics. However, the dose of X-rays required for imaging is far higher

Electricity-generating rooftop solar cells can save a significant amount of water. In some states, individual household water saving can reach up to 1,000%.

"In principle, we can now scale semitransparent organic solar cells to two meters by two meters, which brings our windows much closer to reality."

Only 13% of US solar industry jobs are currently in manufacturing. The Biden administration hopes the sector will grow fast, but that might not be so simple.
