MIT researchers have developed a novel low-cost passive solar-evaporation system that demonstrates much promise for wastewater treatment, seawater desalination, medical instrument sterilization and vapor generation.

Researchers have dramatically improved the efficiency of phosphorene nanoribbons by incorporating them into new kinds of solar cells.

Solar thermal power plants could be considered a step up from conventional solar plants due to their ability to generate electricity around the clock, which is possible thanks to their integrated storage systems. The German Aerospace Center (DLR) has taken solar thermal power plants even further by innovatively using molten salt.
