It might sound counterintuitive to put solar cells indoors, but there’s still plenty of light energy inside that’s largely going to waste. Now, a team of engineers is claiming to have created flexible ...

Perovskite solar cells have gained a lot of attention in research circles recently owing to significant and relatively fast leaps in its efficiency, but the toxic lead they contain is something ...

Chemists have synthesized materials that can improve solar elements for indoor use. Such photovoltaic cells, which can also be integrated into various electronic devices, generate electricity even in ...

Indoor light is an untapped source of energy for billions of small electronics. Devices like remote controls, keyboards, smoke alarms, and sensors spend their entire lifetimes in lit spaces but rely ...

Solar lighting mainly refers to outdoor lighting that’s powered by natural energy from the sun. There are indoor applications, but they’re just starting to become available. Outdoor solar lighting has ...

BiLight Innovations introduced one of the most visually striking solar concepts at CES 2026 with its rollable perovskite ...

WASHINGTON, June 24, 2025 — When you think of solar panels, you usually picture giant cells mounted to face the sun. But what if “solar” cells could be charged using fluorescent lights? Perovskite ...

Conventional solar cells are just that: photovoltaic devices which, by their physics, extract and transform energy from the sun. Their sensitivity and efficiency are matched to the optical-energy ...

It’s 3:00 a.m., and you are blissfully deep in slumber. Suddenly, a sharp, short beep rudely wakes you. The low-battery warning of a carbon monoxide alarm going off in the middle of the night is ...
