Potential of Perovskite Solar Cells Featured in Solar Today Perovskites are a family of materials receiving considerable attention by solar cell researchers due to the rapid rise of solar conversion efficiencies, increasing from about 4% to almost 22% in just six years. In an interview published in Solar Today (winter...

Three years ago, Professor Lucy Pao and her colleagues responded to a call for proposals from the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) with a plan for a morphing wind turbine. But they didn't make the cut, she thinks, because their proposal wasn't "disruptive" enough. So they went bigger. This time,...

A research effort led by the University of Colorado Boulder to develop an inexpensive, “do-it-yourself” coating to retrofit energy-inefficient windows in residential and commercial buildings has been given a $4 million boost over three years by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The funding will be used to develop a...
