Picture this! A solar panel that harvests light from both sides due to an incredible partnership set to reimagine the photovoltaic (PV) landscape. The quantum dot (QD) innovator, UbiQD, and First ...

The eyes of moths, which allow them to see well at night, are also covered with a water-repellent, anti-reflective coating that makes their eyes among the least reflective surfaces in nature.

Nanotextures created with designs similar to those found in the eyes of moths could help researchers develop a new generation of solar panels. These unique layers work by preventing reflections of the ...

Developed by an international research group, the novel anti-reflective coating is based on silicon dioxide and zirconium dioxide. It reportedly minimizes a solar cell’s reflection loss, while ...

For architects looking to build structures that are sustainable and efficient, today’s solar-reflective coatings offer a powerful, cost-effective option. Many of the benefits of solar-reflective ...

The four-page booklet describes common coating techniques for anti-reflective solar glasses and details laboratory testing that compares the durability of Solarphire AR glass to competing products.

A team of researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has created the world's first material that reflects virtually no light. Reporting in the March issue of Nature Photonics, they describe an ...

(Phys.org)—Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have produced solar cells using nanotechnology techniques at an efficiency – 18.2%—that is ...

In what feels like a predictable turn, scientists say injecting the stratosphere with reflective aerosols would not help climate change enough to balance out the unwanted side effects. While the idea ...
