A NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory image of the sun. (Image credit: NASA/SDO/AIA) Scientists using the world’s most powerful solar telescope say they’ve finally observed small-scale magnetic twists on the sun — a discovery that may help solve the longstanding mystery of how the sun’s atmosphere grows hotter the farther it extends from the surface. The

This shift is driven by the technology’s unique advantages, notably its potential to deliver higher efficiencies, exceptional reliability and a lower overall cost compared to traditional front contact and other newer solutions like perovskite tandem cells, which still require years before gigawatt-scale commercialisation. However, BC technology offers a promising platform for 3-terminal and 4-terminal tandem
