An experimental 3D-textured solar cell is set to be bolted to the outside of the International Space Station (ISS), where it will experience 16 "sunrises" each day as part of a harsh performance test.

A new study highlights a semi-transparent, color-tunable solar cell designed to work in places traditional panels can't, like ...

Today’s solar panels are flat, and for good reason: A lack of texture maximizes the amount of surface area exposed to sunlight at a given time, regardless of where the Sun sits in the sky. However, by ...

In one of the first experiments to take place on the outside of the International Space Station (ISS), a new type of 3D-textured solar cell will soak up 16 sunrises everyday from the “back porch” of ...
