These microscopic gold ‘supraballs’ trap 90% of sunlight and could double solar power output
At any given moment, 89,000 terawatts of raw solar power is slamming into the Earth’s atmosphere. It is a mind-boggling ...
Japan is pushing solar hydrogen into a new phase by teaching its materials to drink in colors of sunlight that used to go to waste. Instead of relying only on the most energetic visible wavelengths, ...
Sunlight carries more energy than most solar devices can catch. That gap matters as heat waves grow worse. It also matters as grids strain under rising demand. A team working at the KU R&D Center at ...
Gold nanosphere supraballs absorb a bout 90% of sunlight across all wavelengths, nearly doubling energy capture and boosting power output 2.4x when applied to solar cells. This supraball (left) is ...
