Large-scale solar power farms could get a boost at dawn and dusk with space-based reflectors that shine additional sunlight towards them. That is the aim of a project at Glasgow University that has ...

Znamya-2 was a 20-metre reflective structure much like aluminium foil (Znamya means 'banner' in Russian), unfurled from a spacecraft which had just undocked from the Russian Mir space station. Its ...

If you happened to be looking at the sky in Europe on a cold night on February 5 1993, there is a chance you could have seen a dim flash of light. That flash came from a Russian space mirror ...

Reflect Orbital aims to launch its first of a planned 4,000 satellites into orbit next year. Scientists worry that it would ...

A new database contains the results of exposure experiments on solar reflectors conducted over more than four decades. The publicly available Solar Mirror Materials Database (SMMD) will contain ...

Feb. 5 (UPI) --A new study out of the University of Glasgow said that large-scale sunlight reflectors placed in space to help solar farms gain additional energy at dawn and dusk could give solar ...

A new reflective gold layer allows ultrathin solar cells to absorb more light, improving the efficiency without increasing ...

Linear Fresnel reflector (LFR) technology has emerged as a competitive and cost‐effective alternative within the concentrated solar power (CSP) field. By utilising an array of flat or slightly curved ...

Researchers in Iran have designed a new light trapping (LT) structure for perovskite solar cells that reportedly achieves optimal light absorption without impacting the electrical properties of the ...

India's Zoroastrian community, better known as Parsees, have installed solar reflectors in their Towers of Silence in Bombay to help dispose of their dead. This following a sharp decline in the number ...
