SolFocus, the US-based company at the forefront of concentrated photovoltaics (CPV) systems that generate utility-scale electricity by focusing sunlight onto very high-efficiency solar cells, has ...

Cell-to-cell junctions were visualized by ZO1-GFP, and the dynamics of cell junctions were captured by movies. When the cells indicated by * were spontaneously stretched, a continuous belt of cell ...

In pink, wild type cells expressing gamma actin. In black, knock-out cells that do not express gamma actin. The yellowish lines reveal the tortuous nature of the junctions. Our skin and mucous ...

“Collectively, these advancements offer ground-breaking insights into mitigating energy loss in perovskite solar cells,” said assistant professor Hou Yi (right). Image: NUS Researchers from the ...

Our bodies and organs are shielded from the external environment by tissue barriers like the skin. These barriers must be tightly sealed to prevent unwanted substances from entering. This sealing is ...

Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with their environment. Maintaining their functionality requires dynamic balance (homeostasis) and that their cell numbers are tightly regulated. This is ...

The 1cm² cells, pictured, achieved a record-breaking 27.06% power conversion efficiency. Image: University of Sydney. Scientists from the University of Sydney have created what they claim is the ...

Researchers from the Photovoltaics and Thin-Film Electronics Laboratory. (PV-Lab) in EPFL’s School of Engineering and CSEM have developed a new solar cell that combines exceptional voltage, high ...

A team of researchers at Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin (HZB), led by physicist Steve Albrecht, says it has pushed solar cell efficiency to 34.5% in the lab by stacking two ultra-thin perovskite layers on ...
