A single gold nanoparticle tends to absorb within a narrow band. Much of its strongest response sits in visible wavelengths.

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

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.

Though the sun produces more energy than we would ever need on Earth, current ...

A very small instrument has a big job ahead of it: measuring all Earth-directed energy coming from the Sun and helping scientists understand how that energy influences our planet’s severe weather, ...

There is interesting new work from Cool Worlds. A quasite is a conceptual space-based satellite system proposed by the Cool Worlds Lab (led by astronomer David Kipping), representing a hybrid or ...

Scientists from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia investigated the impact of UV-induced degradation (UVID) in solar cells based on tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) design.

A strong solar flare peaked just after 9 a.m. Tuesday. What does that mean?

The Sun released a strong solar flare on Tuesday, Feb. 3, following several eruptions in the preceding days, prompting ...
