Norwegian researchers are making super-efficient solar cells In the future, solar cells can become twice as efficient by employing a few smart little nano-tricks.
Taking silicon for a spin Scientists sling it outwards in centrifuges, or whip it up like hot hailstones. They are finding novel ways to make super pure silicon quickly and efficiently.
Bright future for solar energy in the north Many Nordic regions have potentials for exploiting solar energy matching that of the solar giant Germany.
Harvesting energy from all forms of sunlight By simply cutting UV photons in two, we could get twice the amount of energy from sunlight.
New material for solar cells The raw materials are abundant, cheap and environmentally friendly. Metal hydrides can represent the next breakthrough for solar power.
