New discoveries are making silicon production cleaner, and solar cells of the future will become even more environmentally friendly. Steinar Brandslet reports from Norway. Solar cells are largely made of silicon. But the silicon...
A promising type of perovskites, or human-made crystals that can convert sunlight into electricity, could for the first time be stabilized. The new findings pave the way to solar panels that are easy to...
A research team from the Zoological Institute of Kiel University (CAU) has succeeded in developing a new silicone coating with a specific microstructure which reduces the contact area of barnacles to ships hulls by...
Longer life times, larger ranges and faster recharging – developments such as electric mobility or the miniaturisation of electronics require new storage materials for batteries. With its enormous storage capacity, silicon would potentially have...
