Inside the cell nucleus, genes must be turned on and off with precision to regulate biological processes. The first models of ...

Future lunar settlements may depend as much on reliable electricity as on rockets and habitats. According to research ...

Chinese scientists have proposed using a laser-powered energy tower near the moon’s south pole to transmit power across the ...

A group of researchers from Chinese PV manufacturer Longi and China’s Yangzhou University has developed a new manufacturing technique to mitigate laser shock waves in the production of heterojunction ...

Scientists have developed a solar desalination system that turns seawater into drinking water without creating environmentally damaging brine. Special laser-textured metal panels use sunlight to ...

June 9 (Reuters) - Qcells, the U.S. solar arm of Korea's Hanwha, has started making solar cells at its Cartersville, Georgia factory, the company said on Tuesday, a milestone for the United States' ...

U.S. researchers have developed an IR-CW laser-based method to remove backsheets from end-of-life silicon solar modules without damaging the glass or wafers, using controlled heating of the ...

Plug-in solar panels could soon give households a simpler way to generate their own electricity, without paying for a full rooftop solar installation. Instead of a large array of panels fixed to the ...

A spacecraft that never runs out of fuel sounds like science fiction, but a team at Texas A&M University has taken a small, literal step toward that goal. In experiments conducted at the university’s ...

Imagine a display that harvests ambient light when it is not actively in use, offsetting some of its own energy consumption. Materials physics shows that this is possible; the same semiconductor ...
