Solar flares heat ions much more strongly than electrons. The finding offers a new explanation for spectral line broadening. Recent work from the University of St Andrews suggests that particles in solar flares can become 6.5 Read More
3I/ATLAS is a fast, ancient interstellar object. Its odd features fuel both scientific study and speculation. On July 1, astronomers detected a strange, fast-moving object racing toward the Sun. Named 3I/ATLAS, it stood out Read More
Perovskite-Silicon Tandem Solar Cells Achieve Record-Breaking 33.1% Efficiency – New
Researchers have unlocked a new method of passivating perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells, achieving record efficiencies and laying the groundwork for more powerful solar technology. A group of international photovoltaics researchers has made an important advance Read More
New research from the University of St Andrews has proposed that particles in solar flares are 6.5 times hotter than previously thought. The research provides an unexpected solution to a 50-year-old mystery about our nearest star. Read More
A new trans-Neptunian object, 2017 OF201, has been found with a vast orbit and potential dwarf planet size. The finding hints at more hidden bodies beyond Neptune. A research team led by Sihao Cheng at the Read More
The European Space Agency-led Solar Orbiter mission has split the flood of energetic particles flung out into space from the sun into two groups, tracing each back to a different kind of outburst from our Read More
Ultrafast charge transfer in solar cell dyes: High-frequency molecular vibrations
Whether in solar cells or in the human eye, whenever certain molecules absorb light, the electrons within them shift from their ground state into a higher-energy, excited state. This results in the transport of energy Read More
U-M astronomers are helping study a fast-moving, ancient, and massive comet that formed beyond our galaxy. A group of astronomers from around the world, including a doctoral student from the University of Michigan, were the Read More
Technique could provide cheap fertilizer and prevent harmful nutrient runoff Summary A new technique offers a promising solution to two pressing agricultural challenges: expensive fertilizers and harmful nutrient runoff. By using targeted electrolysis, researchers can Read More
