Berkeley Lab-led report offers a comparative analysis of roughly 30 recent utility integrated resource plans or other generation planning studies, transmission planning studies, and distribution system plans

Perovskites are optically active, semiconducting compounds that are known to display intriguing electronic, light-emitting, and chemical properties

Using a unique ultra-fast spectroscopic technique, EPFL scientists have now been able to track the fate of charged pairs in an advanced type of solar cells currently under intense research

“Our method opens pathways to direct-write and edit circuitry on 2-D material without the complicated current state-of-the-art multi-step lithographic processes.” 

Team aims  to make the process more efficient and less expensive

Team will  develop photovoltaic devices made of silicon-germanium-tin
