Opinion | India's Solar Dreams Have A Big China Problem
The entire edifice of Indian solar, the panels, the parks, the rooftop schemes, the 500 GW of non-fossil capacity promised by 2030, rests, at its base, on a single supply line that runs across a contested border.

India Tweaks Solar Rules To Cut China Dependence, Manufacturers Divided
Manufacturers say modules built using domestic cells are substantially more expensive than those using imported cells.

Transparent Perovskite Solar Cells Could Turn Windows Into Power Sources
Researchers at Nanyang Technological University developed transparent Perovskite Solar Cells capable of generating electricity through glass surfaces. The ultra-thin technology could transform skyscrapers, vehicles, and wearable devices into clean energy sources.

Battery Breakthrough Could Make Solar Panels Cheaper and More Powerful
Researchers in China have set a new 27.2 percent efficiency record for perovskite solar cells by fixing chlorine-ion clumping, a major barrier to performance. Their simple potassium-based method creates a uniform film and boosts long-term stability, marking a major step toward commercial adoption and more reliable low-cost solar energy.

Mars Dust Devils May Spark Lightning, Might Pose Risks to Rovers: Study
A new computer-modeling study reveals that dust devils on Mars—swirling columns of dust and air—may become electrically charged enough to spark lightning-like discharges. Led by researcher Varun Sheel, the study simulates how dry Martian conditions and frictional collisions between dust grains can generate strong electric fields inside these vo...
