A single photon goes in. Roughly 1.3 usable energy carriers come out. That is the result reported in May 2026 by a team at Kyushu University and Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, who used a quantum ...

Researchers have found that a molybdenum-based material can flip the spin state of excited electrons inside organic solar cells, extending the life of energy carriers that would otherwise be lost to ...

A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a “spin-flip” metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result ...

Energy can never be created or destroyed. That's basic Physics 101. You simply cannot create energy out of thin air. Yet researchers at Kyushu University in Japan say they have developed a technology ...
