Australian scientists flag dramatic improvement to next-gen perovskite R&D Full paper and images available. Details below. Tests on new designs for next-gen solar cells can now be done in hours instead of days thanks to a new system built by scientists at Australia’s Monash University, incorporating 3D-printed key components. The machine can analyse 16 sample…
Full paper available here, read on for media release, photos, captions and background information. Two square metres of solar window will do the same job as a standard rooftop solar panel, Australian researchers say. Semi-transparent solar cells that can be incorporated into window glass are a “game-changer” that could transform architecture, urban planning and electricity…
Full paper available here, read on for media release, photos, captions and background information. Researchers find a simple way to detect tiny imperfections that affect performance. A literal “trick of the light” can detect imperfections in next-gen solar cells, boosting their efficiency to match that of existing silicon-based versions, researchers have found. The discovery opens a…
Australian researchers unlock the key to cheaper high-tech telecom and medical diagnostic devices. Scientists and engineers will soon have a much cheaper way of stabilising, blocking and steering light – potentially lowering the costs of high-tech equipment used in telecommunications, medical diagnostics and consumer electronics. Researchers led by Dr Girish Lakhwani, a chief investigator for…
