solar power

Vision of future solar cell fabrication on the Moon, utilizing raw regolith. Shown are robots that source raw regolith and bring it to a production facility, which fabricates perovskite-based moon solar cells. Later automated rovers or astronauts install the produced solar cells to power future Moon-habitats or even cities.

New approach paves the way for harvesting and storing solar energy efficiently

At the interface of water and air, light can, in certain conditions, bring about evaporation without the need for heat, according to an MIT study. Credits:Image: iStock

In a surprising finding, light can make water evaporate without heat

MIT engineers have developed a design for a system that efficiently harnesses the sun’s heat to split water and generate hydrogen.

MIT design would harness 40% of the sun’s heat to produce clean hydrogen fuel

Tapping the Sun for renewable hydrogen

Peng Zhou uses a large lens to concentrate sunlight onto the water-splitting catalyst. Outdoors, the device was ten times more efficient than previous efforts at solar water splitting. Image credit: Brenda Ahearn/Michigan Engineering, Communications and Marketing
