Making 'green' energy from living plant 'bio-solar cells'
Though plants can act as a source of food, oxygen and décor, they're rarely taken into consideration to be a good source of electricity. But by collecting electrons normally carried within plant cells, scientists can produce electricity as part of a "green," biological solar cell.

Scientists enhance stability of new material for solar cells
New materials that can both harvest and also emit light deal interesting possibility for modern technologies that vary from solar cells to television and display screens. In a new research, scientists have actually developed a new way of enhancing the stability and performance of a particular kind of these materials, called perovskites. A paper based upon the research study has actually been released in ACS Applied Electronic Materials.
