Solar cells that you can roll up and carry from place to place have been a headline promise for years in the materials science subfield of flexible electronics. The technology made a big-stage debut ...

Dyson spheres (aka Dyson Swarms) are hypothetical structures where civilizations build solar power satellite collection around a star. We currently generate about 50 megawatts from space based solar ...

An electrode made from porous titanium dioxide spheres improves the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells. Dye-sensitized solar cells are a promising low-cost alternative to silicon-based solar ...

Sunlight carries more energy than most solar devices can catch. That gap matters as heat waves grow worse. It also matters as grids strain under rising demand. A team working at the KU R&D Center at ...

But the Ph.D. student at Uppsala University’s Department of Physics and Astronomy is not just searching for any alien life. He’s trying to find an alien civilization so advanced that they are able to ...
