Physicists at Rutgers University have discovered unusual electronic properties in a material that has potential to improve solar cell efficiency and computer chip design.
The scientists determined that a crystal made ...
A new study on the installed costs of solar photovoltaic (PV) power systems
in the U.S. shows that the average cost of these systems declined significantly
from 1998 to 2007, but remained relatively flat during the last two years of
this period.
Applied Materials
today held its 2009 financial analyst day in New York City. Applied's executive
team discussed the company's plans for preserving its strong financial position
in the current economic crisis while investing hundreds of millions of dollars
in R+D to extend its leadership in semiconductors, LCD display, crystalline
silicon and thin-film solar, and other energy and environmental products.
New, less costly solar cell materials can meet energy demand without depleting
resources, study finds
The electric breakthrough of solar cells cannot be ascribed to the surface
preparation as has now been demonstrated by physicists at the University of
Leipzig and the company Q-Cells SE in Bitterfeld-Wolfen.
In a few years, photovoltaic solar energy will have become a competitive energy source in major markets in the world. Without the need for subsidies. This will be the start of a revolution in the world’s energy sup...
Researchers have developed a novel thin-film coating providing an unparalleled
level of surface
passivation of crystalline silicon solar cells.
Questions about the ability to increase the energy output of solar cells have
prompted Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers to reassess carrier multiplication
in extremely small semiconductor particles.
The discovery that butterfly wings have scales that act as tiny solar collectors has led scientists in China and Japan to design a more efficient solar cell that could be used for powering homes, businesses, and other applications in the future.
Quantum dots have the potential to bring many good things into the world: efficient solar power, targeted gene and drug delivery, solid-state lighting and advances in biomedical imaging among them.
But they may pose ...
