A group of chemical engineers at MIT have devised a way to collect solar energy 100 times more concentrated than a traditional photovoltaic cell. If their ‘solar funnel’ venture proves to be a success ...

Every day, our Sun beats more energy into the world's deserts than is used by the entire human race in a year. Every joule of energy in the world's oil reserves was put there by the sun, millions of ...

Instead of large photovoltaic solar panels adorning roofs, there might one day be an option for small antennas to help generate electricity from the sun's rays. So hope scientists from MIT who have ...

Computer simulations by researchers in the US and China could lead to solar cells that work efficiently across a broad range of the solar spectrum. Dubbed a “solar energy funnel”, the new concept ...

The quest to harness a broader spectrum of sunlight’s energy to produce electricity has taken a radically new turn, with the proposal of a “solar energy funnel” that takes advantage of materials under ...
