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 ...
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 ...
The spacecraft landed in 2019 to study the deep interior of the planet. NASA is being forced to end its Mars lander mission early because of dust. Officials announced Tuesday the InSight spacecraft is ...
Scientists are following a trail of interstellar dust all the way back to the formation of the solar system. What we now know as the solar system began as a cloud of interstellar dust and gas. By ...
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 ...
When comets pass close to the sun, they give off a residue of particles that make their way through the Earth's atmosphere. This dust, scientists have reported, might be older than the sun itself.
Troublesome lunar dust could soon be transformed into solar cells to help power moon bases and humanity's push to explore further out into space. This is the promise of an international team of ...
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.
