Researchers at the University of Johannesburg have developed a new type of photocatalyst that harnesses the visible portion of the sunlight spectrum. Currently, economical and environmentally-friendly ...

The importance of solar power as a renewable energy resource is increasing. Sunlight contains high-energy UV light with a wavelength shorter than 400 nm, which can be broadly used, for example, for ...

A Yale-led research team has discovered a molecular “device” found in nature that harvests a particular sliver of the sunlight spectrum in order to convert it into chemical energy. In a study led by ...

Understanding the true colou of the Sun, along with concepts such as Rayleigh scattering, Earth's atmosphere, sunlight spectrum, and solar science, helps explain why the Sun appears different when ...
