The past five years have seen significant cost reductions in photovoltaics and a correspondingly strong increase in uptake, with photovoltaics now positioned to provide one of the lowest-cost options ...

A recent study carried out by researchers from EHU, the Materials Physics Center, nanoGUNE, and DIPC introduces a novel approach to solar energy conversion and spintronics. The work tackles a ...

Environmental engineers help determine the most sustainable energy options using systems and life cycle analysis. This allows a comparison of energy use and environmental impacts over the entire life ...

New data shows nearly 70 GW of new solar generating capacity is scheduled to come online across 2026 and 2027. That’s nearly a 49% jump over current operating capacity, and a huge boost for our clean ...

The field of electrochemical energy storage and conversion is pivotal as the world transitions toward carbon neutrality and sustainable energy solutions.

As quantum Hall effects interact with subtle material vibrations, energy conversion occurs naturally, pointing toward ultra-efficient, low-voltage operation ...

Energy efficiency in physics is not measured the way most people think about it. Instead of asking how much heat a process produces per unit of fuel, physicists often compare how much of a substance’s ...
