Solar panels (also known as photovoltaic cells due to their reliance upon light photons to generate power, or voltage) have become a mainstay in many aspects of life ranging from simple solar-powered calculators to orbiting satellites due to their ability to deliver a constant, reliable minor electrical...

Solar power is a term that is used for many different processes in the world today, with the general term referring to any energy production method that relies upon the sun as a driving force behind its generation. Traditionally this has referred to photovoltaic energy cells in particular as “solar...

Developing a sustainable organic hybrid solar cell has long been an active goal of many researchers. While some attempts have been successful in the past only recent developments have enabled organic hybrids to sustain themselves for extended periods of time – with new developments allowing the...

Solar car races have existed for a number of years, with many such as the “American Solar Challenge” that runs a 1,100 mile course from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma to Naperville, Illinois having gone on for roughly 20 years now. These races have even become so well known in many media cultures...

Research into one of the oldest forms of life known on the planet – purple bacteria – is offering some interesting insight into the development of future generations of solar panels. Found throughout the planet and commonly on many lake and sea beds, purple bacteria is a fundamental building...
