We see plenty of solar projects here on Hackaday, but they primarily consist of projects that use an off-the-shelf solar panel to power something else. We see very few projects where people actually ...

Physical reservoir computing (PRC) utilizing synaptic devices shows significant promise for edge AI. Researchers from the Tokyo University of Science have introduced a novel self-powered ...

In lab tests, separate sheets of nanocellulose film that had been treated with each of the additives were applied to dye-sensitized solar cells, which were then placed under a UV lamp for 1,000 hours.

The basic technology behind Ambient Photonics’s solar cells is so simple that it’s routinely assembled as a high school science experiment. In labs across the US, students sandwich blackberries’ ...

Nanotechnology enables the use of materials with unique optical, electrical, and thermal properties. These materials can be engineered to absorb sunlight more efficiently, reduce energy loss, and ...

Manufacturing equipment provider Coatema Coating Machinery has launched a roll-to-roll product lines for flexible organic, perovskite, and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) technologies. The German ...

The aptly named Ambient Photonics wants to end the reliance of low-power devices on batteries, and the company is showcasing a solar cell at CES that it believes is up to the job. With its ...

Researchers at the Silesian University of Technology in Poland have investigated the enhancing photovoltaic module performance using dye concentrators, finding that their use could result in an ...

Conventional solar cells are just that: photovoltaic devices which, by their physics, extract and transform energy from the sun. Their sensitivity and efficiency are matched to the optical-energy ...
