Researchers at Kyushu University have designed a class of molecules whose ability to amplify light energy can be actively controlled by simply applying pressure. The findings, published in the journal ...

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 ...

Researchers have enhanced our understanding of the mechanism by which cells achieve energy conversion, the process in which food is converted into the energy required by cells. Researchers from Mount ...

At the heart of energy conversion, electrons and protons move in an intricate, coordinated dance. Chemists at Yale and in Sweden say they may have learned the steps to a new, photo-chemical rhumba.

A 140-year-old idea to exploit the temperature differences between layers of the ocean is gaining new interest as a way to provide clean power for people living on islands. Called ocean thermal energy ...

Semiconductors are central to the renewable-energy transition, enabling efficient conversion for solar, battery storage, and DC consumption. Single-stage power converters, using wide-bandgap devices ...
