Researchers have engineered tiny gold nanospheres that can soak up almost the entire spectrum of solar energy, promising a ...

Sunbeams contain a lot of energy. But current technology for harvesting solar power doesn't capture as much as it could. Now, ...

Earth just experienced a rare S4 solar radiation storm, the most intense since 2003 — powerful for satellites and astronauts, ...

Researchers report that gold nanospheres, named supraballs, can absorb nearly all wavelengths in sunlight — including some ...

Solar collectors and absorbers convert solar radiation into thermal energy, playing a crucial role in meeting global heating demands across various sectors.

Scientists have constructed the first complete proton energy spectrum observed during an eruptive solar event in Martian space, deepening our understanding of the radiation environment around Mars.

The study of Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) and solar irradiance lies at the intersection of plant science, meteorology and renewable energy research. This field investigates the solar ...

Largest solar radiation storm in more than 20 years could trigger auroras on Earth - A solar radiation storm this large has ...

Solar radiation storms erupt when the sun unleashes a magnetic fury, typically via a coronal mass ejection (CME).

Traditional solar cells harvest only a narrow sliver of the electromagnetic energy pouring down onto Earth, and that's one of the reasons it's been so challenging to get solar efficiency beyond 20-30 ...
