The sun throws four thousand times more energy every year on Earth than the one consumed in the whole world. The German scientists Gerhard Knies and Franz Trieb affirm that it would suffice to cover with solar collectors a small ...
Invest in solar energy. Investing in solar power is one of the most efficient ways to make your home as energy-efficient as possible. Solar energy is a source of power provided by the sun using photovoltaic (PV) cell technology ...
The Future of Solar Power: The Cheapest Energy Resource To appreciate what solar power can do for the planet’s future, you first have to understand what the world might look like without solar’s help. Along with wind power, solar produces ...
Sandia National Laboratories, New Mexico, has recently developed tiny glitter-sized photovoltaic cells, which could revolutionize applications of solar energy. The new development, which has the capability to produce more energy at lower costs, could lead to future utilizations of the ...
An international team of researchers has successfully developed an artificial leaf that can convert sunlight into energy. The team firstly simulated the extremely efficient bacteria light antennae by modifying chlorophyll from an alga. Using the alga’s properties, the ‘artificial leaf’ ...
SunHopes is an innovative concept for harvesting solar energy in a cost-efficient, environmentally friendly way using helium balloons. GEOTECTURA, an architectural studio founded by architect Dr. Joseph (Yossi) Cory, and Dr. Pini Gurfil of the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, ...
Dr. Martin Aagesen from the Nano-Science Center and the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen has discovered a new crystalline material. The crystalline material, called nano flakes, is more efficient than solar panels, converting almost twice the amount ...
