Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. The community of Boron in eastern Kern County is a little dusty to start with, as close as it is to a large open-pit mine, an ...

Static electricity could remove dust from desert solar panels, saving around 45 billion litres of water every year. Some of the largest solar farms in the world are in deserts, such as Mohammed bin ...

New research reveals how Saharan dust impacts solar energy generation in Europe. Dust from North Africa reduces photovoltaic (PV) power output by scattering sunlight, absorbing irradiance, and ...

Just as dust gathers in corners and along bookshelves in our homes, dust piles up in space too. But when the dust settles in the solar system, it’s often in rings. Several dust rings circle the Sun.

The study of dust dynamics in the solar system encompasses the investigation of the origins, transport, and interactions of micrometre‐ and nanometre‐scaled particles within the complex heliospheric ...

A collaborative research team has successfully developed a self-powered pollution prevention technology that can remove pollutants from the surface of solar panels without external power. This ...

South African researchers have developed a new cleaning system for solar panels that uses a color-sensing light-to-frequency converter to detect dirt. It can reportedly remove around 95% of the dust ...
