American engineers at Bell Labs unveiled the first photovoltaic solar cell in 1954. Four years later, National Aeronautics and Space Administration ... NASA is also using two large cross-shaped ...

The scientists attributed the exceptional performance of the large-size 5J solar cell to the low number of mismatch dislocations in the material and the simplicity of the flexible device's ...

"The solar cells used in space now are amazing, reaching efficiencies of 30% to even 40%, but that efficiency comes with a price," says lead researcher Felix Lang of the University of Potsdam ...

Apr. 15, 2025 — First ever supercomputer simulations of Mars with a fully molten core could explain the Red Planet's unusual magnetic field. Billions of years ago, Mars had an active magnetic field.

As solar cell technology improves, scientists can reduce the size of solar panels as they become more efficient, reducing the amount of land required to produce large amounts of clean electricity.
