Today’s solar panels are flat, and for good reason: A lack of texture maximizes the amount of surface area exposed to sunlight at a given time, regardless of where the Sun sits in the sky. However, by ...

Inspired by the cells in leaves that control leaf curvature to regulate water loss, researchers present flat panels that can morph into a stiff, complex 3D structure with a different Gaussian ...

Why it matters: Many research teams are working to achieve new technological breakthroughs in creating more efficient and useful solar cells. A recent study by a Turkish university presents a ...
