To address the challenge of characterizing curved, three-dimensional vehicle-integrated photovoltaics (VIPV), scientists at the Polytechnic University of Madrid developed the design principles and ...

Not all crops will grow under solar panels. Depending on the layout, the panels reduce the light getting through by between ...

The research showed that as few as 63 solar trees could produce 1 megawatt (MW) of power, an output that required a ground-mounted facility to clear 98 percent of the forest on the same site. This ...

New research from IBM and NASA has used AI to power a new and improved simulation of the Sun's activity, allowing marked improvements in the prediction of solar activity. The project, called Surya, is ...

To keep a solar-powered HAPS flying continuously, its power generation must exceed its consumption. While predicting the power consumption of the motors is straightforward, predicting the power ...

Back in 2019, a consortium of scientists predicted August 2025 as the peak of the solar activity cycle. But where are we now?
