New Machine Learning System Could Speed Up the Production of Advanced Solar Cells

Perovskites are a family of materials that are currently the leading contender to potentially replace today's silicon-based solar photovoltaics. They hold the promise of panels that are far thinner and lighter, that could be made with ultra-high throughput at room temperature instead of at hundreds of degrees, and that are cheaper and easier to transport and install.

Scientists Develop Ultrathin Wide-Angle Camera with Flat Metalenses

Researchers have developed a novel compact camera that uses a variety of metalenses—flat nano-patterned surfaces used to modulate light—to capture high-quality wide-angle photos. The novel technique could allow wide-angle cameras to be included in smartphones and portable imaging equipment for vehicles such as cars or drones by removing the bulky and heavy lenses currently required for this type of photography.

Rapid Fabrication of Optical Interconnects using New Polymer Materials

Researchers have developed new polymer materials that are ideal for making the optical links necessary to connect chip-based photonic components with board-level circuits or optical fibers. The polymers can be used to easily create interconnects between photonic chips and optical printed circuit boards, the light-based equivalent of electronic printed circuit boards.

Researchers Develop a Tandem Solar Cell that Achieves Record Efficiency

A German research team has developed a tandem solar cell that reaches 24 per cent efficiency – measured according to the fraction of photons converted into electricity (i.e. electrons). This sets a new world record as the highest efficiency achieved so far with this combination of organic and perovskite-based absorbers.
