Researchers develop framework to optimise 2D perovskite solar cell design

Uncategorized / By

The study tackles a long-standing challenge in improving 2D perovskite materials by better understanding how they absorb and transport light. At the heart of this are excitons, pairs of negatively charged electrons and positively charged “holes” that form when sunlight hits the material. How tightly these pairs stay bound affects how efficiently solar cells can […]

Blocking, El Niño and extreme events redistribute solar resource in 2026 so far

Uncategorized / By

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, Solcast, a DNV company, reports that, in the first half of 2026, solar irradiance was broadly above average across Europe, the United States, Southeast Asia, South America, and Central Africa, driven by shifting atmospheric patterns transitioning from early-year blocking and polar vortex disruption to developing El Niño

An illustration of the exoplanet WD 1856 b orbiting its dead star (Image credit: Robert Lea) Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe an oddball gas giant exoplanet orbiting a dead star, a white dwarf, located some 80 light-years away. This “life after death” system gives scientists a portentous vision of
