Pairing of Silicon, Perovskite Promising for Solar Efficiency
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 24, 2015 — A pairing of silicon and perovskite has the potential to achieve significantly higher solar energy conversion efficiencies than standard, single-junction silicon cells. A prototype tandem solar cell developed by researchers at MIT and Stanford University has demonstrated an open-circuit voltage of 1.65 V, which the team said was its best-case scenario. The prototype’s a 13.7 percent power-conversion efficiency still leaves much to be desired. But in this first step the
Smile and Say, ‘Drone!’
Oct 6, 2014 — Any photographer will tell you that if it were possible to grow an extra set of hands, he would. As simultaneous scientists, artists and packhorses, photographers must know their equipment inside and out, but they must also be prepared to change...
