Scientists have developed a way to generate tiny amounts of solar energy at night. It’s true potential could be in space.

Using data collected by NASA's Parker Solar Probe during its closest approach to the sun, a University of Arizona-led ...

It produces only a little power, but its innovative approach could support hardware that operates during lengthy periods of total darkness, such as deep-space satellites.

Syed Ayaz, a researcher at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), has published a paper in Scientific Reports that builds on an earlier first-of-its-kind study that examined kinetic Alfvén ...

Scientists are learning how to turn the chill of outer space into a quiet source of electricity, using the night sky itself as a heat sink. By carefully managing how surfaces shed heat after dark, ...
