A single gold nanoparticle tends to absorb within a narrow band. Much of its strongest response sits in visible wavelengths.

Researchers have engineered tiny gold nanospheres that can soak up almost the entire spectrum of solar energy, promising a ...

Sunbeams contain a lot of energy. But current technology for harvesting solar power doesn't capture as much as it could. Now, ...

The Sun released a strong solar flare on Tuesday, Feb. 3, following several eruptions in the preceding days, prompting ...

Researchers report that gold nanospheres, named supraballs, can absorb nearly all wavelengths in sunlight — including some ...

The study of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) and solar irradiance lies at the intersection of plant science, meteorology and renewable energy research. This field investigates the solar ...

Perovskite-silicon hybrid solar cells, launching in 2026, promise 34% higher efficiency than traditional panels. This ...

Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation that occur on the Sun's surface, resulting from the release of magnetic energy associated with sunspots. These flares can vary in intensity, and their ...

A strong solar flare peaked just after 9 a.m. Tuesday. What does that mean?

Perovskite multi-junction solar cells promise 35%+ efficiency, surpassing silicon's 29% limit, according to RINA Consulting.
