A new microscope reveals how heat, not just light, drives electricity inside ultrathin solar chips - reshaping solar design ...

Photovoltaic cells, or PVs, are also known as solar cells, and account for the dominant portion of the industry’s revenues. The theory of photovoltaic effect is central to the design of PVs.

Scientists at the University of Sharjah have secured a U.S. patent (US12341471B2) for an innovative cooling system designed ...

UC Riverside researchers have unveiled a powerful new imaging technique that exposes how cutting-edge materials used in solar ...

Solar panels are landfilled, recycled, or repurposed. Landfill is the most common, but is bad for the environment. Recycling ...

The bulk photovoltaic effect in OIHPs has generally been ascribed to the old macroscopic polarization mechanism. “Built-in electric fields in materials have often been considered as the origin of the ...

The photovoltaic effect starts when sunlight reaches the surface of a semiconductor. It releases its energy in the form of small particles called photons, which are absorbed by the semiconductor.

Scientists in Japan have developed a device that enables external magnetic field control of magnetic injection current in the bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE), a phenomenon not yet used in ...
