Solar farms have a significant clean water footprint. But new technologies could help. By Anuradha Varanasi Published Mar 22, 2022 10:00 AM EDT Get the Popular Science daily newsletter💡 Breakthroughs ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
