A research team in Iran has designed a four-terminal perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells with a 19.3%-efficient bottom heterojunction cell and a 12.7%-efficient perovskite top cell. Both subcells ...

In a compelling new animated video released today, Climate Resolve, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit focused on climate ...

China’s glaciers have shrunk by 26% in the last 60 years, with significant implications for water resources, sea-level rise, ...

While the transition to renewable energy is both urgent and complex, one startup solving the complexity associated with solar energy is SolarDuck.

which promotes the formation of reflective particles like aerosols. This hypothesis is supported by LTT 9779 b's unusually high albedo, meaning it reflects more sunlight than other planets of ...

The meltdown extends beyond the Arctic. Antarctica recently flirted with a record low in its own annual sea ice minimum – this while the Arctic hits an unprecedented winter low. As a result, Meier ...

Another factor in the acceleration of glacial melting is the loss of the “albedo effect.” White snow and ice reflect more sunlight and therefore absorb less heat than dark soil and rock.

They reflect sunlight, which helps maintain cooler temperatures ... Black carbon and industrial pollutions deposit on the surface of glaciers, which decreases the albedo effect (reflectivity) of the ...

Starlink satellites orbit approximately 342 miles (550 kilometers) above Earth and put on a spectacular show for observers as ...

Currently, satellite-based daily mean albedo is typically estimated from the diurnal variation of albedo, derived from multiangle reflectance observations using a bidirectional reflectance ...
