The reflector is a thin silver film with an array of nanoscale bumps ... inside the cell, giving the dye a longer time to absorb it. The researchers made their devices by coating glass with ...

Solar cell efficiency may get a bump from bumps. New research suggests that building tiny domes into the surface of organic solar cells could boost their efficiency by up to two-thirds ...

Nanoscale wires, pores, bumps, and other textures can dramatically improve the performance of solar cells, displays ... be used on rigid surfaces like glass. In the journal Nano Letters, Cui ...

ICFO researchers presented their in situ passivation strategy (P-DIP), which resulted in the highest power conversion efficiency for nanocrystal solar cells. “Imagine a bumpy road that slows ...

Even the flattest of basement membranes has topography; bumps, if you like, beneath the cellular mattress. Unlike the princess kept awake by the pea, human embryonic stem (HES) cells do better ...

Scientists have been hard at work on the question of solar glass that can generate energy from a clear window. Now a new type of clear solar cell is poised to supply energy through everything from ...
