Powering satellites and other applications outside of Earth’s atmosphere has long been a small yet exciting niche for some of the highest-efficiency PV technologies ever produced. These are typically ...
Scientists led by Cambridge University fabricated an ‘ultrathin’ solar cell, just 80 nanometers thick, using gallium arsenide. The III-V cell achieved 9.08% conversion efficiency, and its developers ...
A new ultrathin photovoltaic cell could be used as a power source for satellites in regions of space that experience high levels of radiation. Developed by researchers from the University of Cambridge ...
