Scientists in Germany have collected dust from Qatar, Morocco and Thailand to analyze the impact on the performance of non-coated solar glass and non-coated PV-mini modules. Their analysis has shown that dust coverage can vary from 4% to 60%. June 17, 2025 Lior Kahana A research team led by scientists from the German Anhalt University of Applied Sciences has conducted a study into the impact of different types of fabric on solar transmission and PV performance. In particular, they analyzed and tested dust samples from urban areas of Qatar and Morocco, a rice field and a biofuel refinery system factory…

Molecular relay structure makes faster photon -up conversion possible for solar and medical use A new molecular architecture developed by researchers at Kobe University accelerates light conversion by making faster intramolecular energy movement possible. This progress could pave the way for more efficient solar energy technologies and improved medical diagnostics. Foton Upconversion, a process in which two light energy light particles combine into one higher energy yield, promises for applications from photovoltaic to targeted therapies. However, the method usually depends on rare and inefficient molecular collisions with precise alignment. Researchers have sought ways to improve both the reliability and the…
