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

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

A single gold nanoparticle tends to absorb within a narrow band. Much of its strongest response sits in visible wavelengths. In the new work, the scientists packed many particles into a tight, crystal ...

Global solar capacity has tripled in 5 years. New island projects and U.S. manufacturing exports show how solar is becoming resilient, scalable infrastructure worldwide.

NASA researchers show that artificial intelligence can anticipate solar flare buildups by tracking subtle changes across the ...

Scientists watched a solar flare grow from tiny magnetic sparks into a violent plasma-raining avalanche on the Sun.

Researchers have studied the potential of combining photovoltaic systems with compressed air energy storage (CAES) to power a commercial building in South Africa. They found that a co-optimized system ...

MyEnergy Engineering has completed an off grid 100 kW solar and 256 kWh battery system for a large-scale pig farm north of Adelaide, Australia.

Citing concerns about potential environmental damage and unpaid property taxes, the town asked state regulators for a hearing ...

A solar generator can be a lifesaver during natural disasters or power outages. Here are the two we recommend buying for both small- and large-scale use.

Theory and understanding underpin a great deal of experimentation and engineering. Working together experimentalists can be guided by theoretical predictions and theoreticians can refine their models ...

In the context of national human capital development, the Ministry of Education sees higher education as well as Technical and Vocational Education and Training, T-VET, as complementary learning ...
