Researchers find strong vendor-to-vendor variation in UVID performance of TOPCon solar cells

Researchers find strong vendor-to-vendor variation in UVID performance of TOPCon solar cells

US researchers found significant manufacturer-dependent differences in UV-induced degradation and light-assisted recovery among commercial TOPCon solar cells. The results highlight the need for controlled light soaking before testing and for accounting for daily dark-degradation and recovery cycles in performance models.

Some solar system objects may still ‘remember’ how they were born

Beyond Neptune, there is a region consisting of icy worlds which are so faint and remote that even the most powerful telescopes have difficulty observing them. The Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) are relics from the very beginning of the solar system: frozen planetesimals that never developed into full-blown planets. Now, for the first time, scientists have
