Researchers show off early prototypes of paper-thin solar cells, along with a material that can clean up oil spilled in water. Martin LaMonica is a senior writer covering green tech and cutting-edge ...

Now panels can be made lightweight, cheaply, and cleanly. It could be the first step in revolutionizing how we generate solar power. Researchers have long toyed with the idea of printing solar cells ...

When we covered the Solar Paper Kickstarter campaign last year, the team shot for the moon but ended up reaching the sun. At the close of funding, the solar charger project had raised an impressive ...

A new manufacturing technique may allow for solar panels to be produced simply using nothing more than an ink-jet printer. The new technique, developed by MIT researchers, is a much gentler technology ...

Solar technology is getting better and better, with a new Kickstarter campaign having been started for "Solar Paper," which is touted as the world's smallest solar chargers. The chargers are available ...

Yes, you read that title correctly. A team of scientists from Imperial College London, University of Cambridge and Central Saint Martins have created a two-in-one solar bio-battery and solar panel by ...
