Direct transfer trip,” a costly approach to ensure that distributed generation shuts down during a power outage, can make solar projects uneconomical. A national lab report points to a combination of ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have discovered that electrons can be fired across solar cell materials in just 18 ...

A tiny burst of motion inside a molecule may be enough to shove an electron across a solar material almost as fast as nature ...

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 ...

Scientists have discovered that electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, driven by tiny atomic vibrations.

Several leaves with ragged edges on stems have sunlight shining through them. Natural photosynthesis involves many complex charge-transfer steps that researchers are working to understand and mimic.
