Solar-collecting windows could make office buildings and skyscrapers more energy efficient, but harnessing solar power while retaining transparency is a tricky engineering problem. A new study from ...

Sunwarmed surfaces, sometimes too hot to touch, give us everyday evidence of the energy put out by our nearest star. Directing that energy into electricity production is nothing short of miraculous.

Scientists have created a transparent solar coating that turns ordinary windows into clean energy generators without affecting clarity. Using cholesteric liquid crystal layers, the coating redirects ...

Chinese scientists say they have created a transparent solar coating that turns ordinary windows into energy generators without affecting clarity, according to a Science Daily report. The coating, ...

Researchers have set a new efficiency world record for converting sunlight into electricity using transparent solar cells. The breakthrough, made by an international team from the CitySolar project, ...
