Perovskite solar cells that lasts in air

Perovskits solar cells have gone from nothing to 23% efficiency in a decade, but they are fragile in air. Now researchers at the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have made a perovskite cell that, without protective encapsulation, retains 94% of its starting efficiency after 1,000 hours exposure to air – the ...

Fable: The Boundlessness Of Genius

There was once a mathematician from Lincolnshire who will be forever associated with apples. Known for his gravity and his transformational optics and calculus, he became the MP for Cambridge University, Master of the Royal Mint, President of the Royal Society, a fellow of Trinity College Cambridge and a Knight of the Realm. Moral: Genius ...

THz solar antennas instead of solar cells

Rather than splitting an exiton across a p-n junction, why not receive light like radio waves, with an antenna and a diode? That is the thinking behind a project at Georgia Tech, which has produced a class of devices called rectennas. The first optical rectenna was produced in 2015, now the Tech is reporting a ...

Optical modulator has no output offset

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have created a an optical second-harmonic generator with no background output – second harmonic output can be varied from zero upwards. It consists of an 8μm long strip of cadmium sulphide with source and drain electrodes (one Ohmic, on Schottky) – see diagram. Incoming light was between 680 and ...
