In a world that relies on batteries and energy supplies, there's something quite attractive about the idea of a transparent surface that can harness the power of the sun. Think about it — the windows ...

The hunt for a truly clean energy source that can replace our current fossil fuel systems is still underway. While we've seen breakthroughs in solar panels that don't need sunlight to generate energy, ...

Researchers at Michigan State University created transparent solar panels that have the potential to power buildings and can be retrofitted to older glass exteriors or windows. Researchers at Michigan ...

Solar panels and solar power-generating windows are a couple of things people have come up with to take advantage of the Sun, but now a team of engineering researchers from Michigan State University ...

Solar power has long been seen as a clean alternative to fossil fuels. But its everyday use still faces hurdles. Traditional panels are bulky, stiff, and completely opaque. That makes them hard to fit ...

Engineers at the University of Michigan and other institutions have created a new solar panel that is transparent enough to be used for windows in homes and businesses. In addition to being ...

Ubiquitous Energy and Michigan State University researchers have created a fully transparent solar concentrator, which could turn any window or sheet of glass (like your smartphone's screen) into a ...

A new age for solar energy is at our front door, or more appropriately, our front window. Michigan State University chemical engineering professor Richard Lunt and his team have successfully created a ...

A new generation of see-through solar cell technology could soon be used to harvest the massive energy potential of building and car windows, cell phones as well as other objects with a transparent ...

In a step closer to skyscrapers that serve as power sources, researchers have set a new efficiency record for color-neutral, transparent solar cells. In a step closer to skyscrapers that serve as ...
