Researchers have developed lead-free indoor solar panels that convert artificial light into electricity with record-breaking efficiency.

In the sterile, LED-lit gloom of an office, a solar panel is about as useful as a sundial. Traditional silicon cells are built for the unfiltered fire of the Sun but work miserably with artificial ...

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024 in Las Vegas is a key platform for innovators who want to demonstrate how the burgeoning influence of photonics will reshape how we use technology. ZDNET sorts ...

Safer and more environmentally friendly indoor solar panels could soon help power electronics in homes and offices, thanks to ...

Conventional solar cells are just that: photovoltaic devices which, by their physics, extract and transform energy from the sun. Their sensitivity and efficiency are matched to the optical-energy ...

It’s 3:00 a.m., and you are blissfully deep in slumber. Suddenly, a sharp, short beep rudely wakes you. The low-battery warning of a carbon monoxide alarm going off in the middle of the night is ...

Indoor solar panels are gaining momentum as a smart solution for powering low-energy electronic devices. Unlike traditional solar panels, these are designed to harvest electricity from artificial ...

A minimalist molecular coating enables organic devices to generate power and detect light indoors, resolving a materials interface problem while improving efficiency, scalability, and cost. (Nanowerk ...

From Wi-Fi-connected home security systems to smart toilets, the so-called Internet of Things brings personalization and convenience to devices that help run homes. But with that comes tangled ...
