New solar panels from photovoltaic panel waste
Solar energy is great information for planet Earth-- but solar panels are not as climate-friendly as they should be. Researcher Martin Bellmann is using what he calls the "black gold" waste materials from solar panel manufacture to make new panels.

Utilizing nanowires to make ultra reliable affordable solar cells
A research study group at the Norwegian University of Science and also Technology (NTNU) has actually established a method for making an ultra-high product reliable solar cell using semiconductor nanowires. If this is positioned on top of a typical silicon-based solar cell, it can possibly double the performance of today's Si solar cells at low cost.
