- New double-pane quantum dot solar windows generate power with better efficiency Thu, 4 Jan 18, 2:10amResearchers at an American national laboratory have now employed quantum dots for double-pane solar windows that offer shading, insulation, and, of course, generate energy - with greater efficiency...
- Quantum dot solar windows could turn any window into a power source Fri, 4 Sep 15, 4:00amA sunlight-harvesting technology created by researchers in Los Alamos and Italy could turn any window into a solar energy source. The technology is based on tiny nanoparticles known as quantum dots, which can absorb sunlight...
- MIT Scientists Create a More Efficient Solar Cell by Using Quantum Dots and Nanowires Tue, 26 Mar 13, 3:30amPhoto via Shutterstock A team of researchers at MIT have developed a more efficient photovoltaic solar cell using particles known as quantum dots. The benefit of using quantum dots is that they can be produced cheaply, and...
- New Quantum Dot Photovoltaics Could Double Solar Cell Efficiency Tue, 22 Jun 10, 7:00amToday's solar cells make use of just under a third of the energy hitting them, overheating to create "hot electrons" that escape before they can be converted into electricity...
