Adding more solar panels to a neighborhood can increase the number of people living there who believe that human action causes climate change.

Researchers had all but given up on emerging organic solar cell technology, but chemical tweaks brought them back from the brink. Here's how it worked.

A new kind of semiconductor made from barium zirconium sulfide instead of silicon could pave the way for better solar panels, LEDs, and sensors.

If solar panels could gather sunlight from two sides instead of one, they could generate up to 20% more power, a new formula shows.

A new way to produce perovskite solar cells using inorganic ingredients limits their defects and lets them last for months.

Carbon capture technologies could actually produce more carbon dioxide than they suck up. Focusing on renewables is a better solution, researchers say.

Using solar power technology solves a lot of the problems with the fluorescent dyes used to detect and attack cancer cells.

Moving from coal to natural gas could help save a lot of water, but moving to renewables would use just a fraction of the water we use today for power.

Solar cells that can be used on a curved surface like the body of a car may be one step closer to reality thanks to a new discovery about conductivity.

Growing crops under the shade of solar panels, also called agrivoltaics, could boost food production, use less water, and make solar panels more efficient.
