Developed at the University of Surrey, the coating has been designed to protect the organic molecules within perovskite solar ...

A power source that is aptly suited for disaster response is space solar power (SSP, Figure 1). SSP could provide the ability to deliver rapid and reliable power to a disaster area.

A new "cosmic veil" developed by engineers at the University of Surrey could help perovskite solar cells survive in space, ...

Last year, Aetherflux, a startup founded by a physicist with a background in financial services, announced it was developing a novel space-based solar power technology. Instead of the large arrays ...

Such power stations in space would clearly solve a lot of problems for our species. Some of these people have gotten together in the UK and formed a company called Space Solar.

There’s no electrical power grid in outer space, so the electrical power subsystem needs to deliver the spacecraft’s ...

Along with launching two NASA probes, the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carried five other satellites into orbit with goals ranging ...

While conventional solar panels on Earth can only produce power during daylight hours and are at the mercy of weather conditions, orbital solar arrays could beam massive amounts of clean energy to ...

The United States must prioritize space solar power or risk ceding energy leadership to others." Aetherflux has secured government funding through the Defense Department’s Operational Energy ...
