This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 9 and SDG 12. 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, has emerged as a technology for advancing possibilities in devices for energy ...

In a conventional solar cell, the energy of an absorbed photon in excess of the band gap is rapidly lost as heat, and this is one of the main reasons that the theoretical efficiency is limited to ~33% ...

Plasmonics is the study of the interaction between electromagnetic waves and free electrons in a metal. When light strikes a metal nanostructure, it can excite collective oscillations of the free ...

CLIMATEWIRE | Construction crews working a few miles offshore from the port of Newport, Ore., are building the final portions of a sprawling $80 million test facility designed to develop a new form of ...

Researchers led by Rice University's Guido Pagano used a specialized quantum device to simulate a vibrating molecule and ...

Tsinghua University has launched the first issue of Energy Materials and Devices, a quarterly publication published by Tsinghua University Press. The journal aims to be an international, single-blind, ...

Semiconductors are central to the renewable-energy transition, enabling efficient conversion for solar, battery storage, and DC consumption. Single-stage power converters, using wide-bandgap devices ...
