New research from the University of New South Wales have found that the Special Injected Metallization (JSIM) technique developed by Chinese manufacturer Jolywood can considerably increase TOPCon solar cell efficiency. The scientists described precisely how laser-assisted firing enhances cell performance, reportedly filling critical gaps in industrial TOPCon cell optimization… https://www.pv-magazine.com/2025/05/02/jolywoods-laser-assisted-firing-process-increases-topcon-solar-cell-efficiency-by-0-6-says-unsw-research/
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 122, Issue 18, May 2025. SignificanceThe sources of Earth’s volatile elements remain unclear. For many elements, the distinct isotope anomalies of inner and outer solar system materials constrain the provenance of the terrestrial inventory. Yet, for the major life-essential … https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2418198122?af=R
A team of Japan-based scientists have set a new power conversion efficiency record for all-organic solar cells, more than doubling the previous record. They say the cell was developed with rganic electrodes with high conductivity that required no acid doping or high-temperature heating, which avoids damage to the plastic substrates… https://www.pv-magazine.com/2025/05/02/scientists-fabricate-all-organic-solar-cell-with-record-8-7-efficiency/

For over six months, the transformer powering a community in Gbagada, a vantage point in Lagos State located between the local governments of Kosofe and Shomolu, has been faulty, leaving residents at the mercy of expensive, noisy, and polluting alternatives. Like many middle-class Nigerians, Adeola Balogun steps outside her home every evening to switch on

An international team of scientists led by a Rutgers University-New Brunswick astrophysicist has discovered a potentially star-forming cloud that is one of the largest single structures in the sky and among the closest to the sun and Earth ever to be detected. The vast ball of hydrogen, long invisible to scientists, was revealed by looking
