Until recently, when a solar panel reached the end of its useful life—after 25 or 30 years—it probably ended up in a landfill. Any valuable materials inside it were lost. But that’s quickly changing.

Researchers at Hebei University of Science and Technology in China and Riken Center for Advanced Photonics in Japan demonstrated a novel silver ion solution-assisted femtosecond laser process for ...

A team of researchers led by the UK’s University of Cambridge has developed an adhesive-free method of bonding ultra-thin gallium arsenide (GaAs) solar cells to borosilicate glass. The technique, ...
