‘City Transformer’ microcar widens wheel track for high-speed stability

The CT-2 is a shape-shifting four-wheeled urban getabout, a tandem two-seater that can park in motorcycle spaces and filter through traffic – but that spreads its wheels wider for stability at higher speeds. It’s slated for production in 2026.Continue … Continue reading ‘City Transformer’ microcar widens wheel track for high-speed stability

All-perovskite tandem solar cell boasts high efficiency, record voltage

Engineers have developed a new solar cell with a record voltage and (arguably) a record efficiency for its kind. The all-perovskite tandem solar cell uses two layers of perovskite that tap into different wavelengths of light, plus a special surface tre… Continue reading All-perovskite tandem solar cell boasts high efficiency, record voltage

Perovskite-silicon solar cells break 30% efficiency barrier

Scientists have broken the efficiency record for tandem silicon-perovskite solar cells, surpassing the milestone of 30 percent for the first time. The new record takes the technology beyond the upper limits of silicon alone, using low-cost and scalable… Continue reading Perovskite-silicon solar cells break 30% efficiency barrier

New silicon/perovskite solar cell world record nears 30% efficiency

Silicon has long been the gold standard for solar cells, but it’s beginning to reach its limit. Perovskite is emerging as a promising partner, and now engineers have achieved a new efficiency record closing in on 30 percent for this kind of tandem sola… Continue reading New silicon/perovskite solar cell world record nears 30% efficiency

Two new solar cells break records, including highest efficiency ever

Solar cells are constantly improving on the road to maximum efficiency. Now, three records have been broken by two different devices, including one that pushes the highest overall solar conversion efficiency towards the 50-percent mark.Continue Reading… Continue reading Two new solar cells break records, including highest efficiency ever
