Research into the use of perovskite materials as solar cells has boomed in the last several years, following reports of high energy conversion efficiencies, which have continued to climb. New research reveals how to improve the lifetime of these solar cells, reports Printed Electronics World.

Groupe Renault and EEM Empresa de Electricidade da Madeira, SA announced the launch of a smart electric ecosystem on the island of Porto Santo.

EU-funded scientists have developed nanomaterials that can be scaled up to produce a new generation of solar-powered devices with the potential to replace batteries or bulky solar panels.

NuCurrent announces the launch of its NuIQ™ Technology Platform. The platform, designed to develop efficient wireless power systems in consumer and industrial products, is the culmination of nearly a decade of expertise in wireless power solutions engineering.

Fields of spinning wind turbines inspire thoughts of earth-friendly energy, but until now, generating wind power hasn't been as sustainable as people may have thought.

The innovative features of the WindFloat dampen wave and turbine induced motion, enabling wind turbines to be sited in previously inaccessible locations where water depth exceeds 40m and wind resources are superior.

Researchers have found a way to more efficiently generate hydrogen from water — an important key to making clean energy more viable.

$950-million investment positions Canada for an innovation boom in high-growth sectors

In order to power entire communities with clean energy, such as solar and wind power, a reliable backup storage system is needed to provide energy when the sun isn't shining and the wind doesn't blow.

Searching for a power outlet may soon become a thing of the past. Instead, devices will receive electricity from a small metallic tab that, when attached to the body, is capable of generating electricity from bending a finger and other simple movements.

Engineer and inventor Clement Mokoenene was announced as South Africa's representative to stand a chance to win his share of $1 million in business funding, in his quest to be named South African most innovative social entrepreneur with his innovative Vehicle Energy Harvesting System.

With further development, these membranes have significant potential to perform the dual functions of removing salts from seawater and separating metal ions in a highly efficient and cost effective manner, offering a revolutionary new technological approach for the water and mining industries.

Researchers are one step closer to wirelessly powering the world using triboelectricity, a green energy source.

Researchers have found a way to form two materials, each made of three layers of graphene. Each material's graphene is stacked differently and has unique electrical properties. Their work has implications for the development of novel electronic devices.

Research has shown that the motion of two-dimensional materials may be used as a source of clean, limitless energy.

The Dh2.5-billion project aims to treat 1.82-million tonnes of solid waste annually, with a total capacity to generate 185 MW of electricity, Hussain Nasser Lootah, Director General of Dubai Municipality, announced at a press conference.

Renewable energy has emerged as an increasingly competitive way to meet new power generation needs. This comprehensive cost report from the International Renewable Energy Agency highlights the latest trends for each of the main renewable power technologies, based on the latest cost and auction price data from projects around the world.

Sensors that sniff out chemicals in the air to warn us about everything from fires to carbon monoxide to drunk drivers to explosive devices hidden in luggage have improved so much that they can even detect diseases on a person's breath.

Pavegen has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Siemens to bring its technology to smart city projects around the world.
