Many congratulations to Dr Xu Xixiang, who has won the @IEEEPVSC Cherry Award for his outstanding work demonstrating 27.3% high-efficiency silicon solar cells at the LONGi company. We learned how Dr Xu has had a truly international career and is also an accomplished poet!

A new paper from our team establishes the efficiency limits and design principles for coloured multi-junction solar cells. Great collaboration with @pshoebes @jannephys and Jessica Jiang

Epic three days of tuition, coding and coaching at the 1st Silicon Tandem Solar Cell computer simulation workshop held at SKKU, S.Korea. By day 3, @pshoebes had the class performing multiscale ray and wave optical simulations using the solcore & rayflare python packages!

Unsurprised by this finding but something needs to change. Double blind review? If expert peer review does not focus on content then scientific publishing becomes a network of influencers. Full paper

Had great fun discussing our night-time solar research on one of my favourite podcasts @pstvclimate ! Nick and Alex usually interview industrial clean tech leaders so we also covered how university research can help in the early stages of tech. innovation.

So long Philadelphia. Many thanks to all at @IEEEPVSC for a highly enjoyable #pvsec49 conference. I presented our work demonstrating a thermoradiative diode. Conference highlight for me was Ryan France @NREL announcing record breaking QW solar cells.

Terrific result by Ryan France, John Geisz, Myles Steiner and team @NREL achieving a world record 39.5% AM1.5G and 34.2% AM0 efficiency using a multi-junction III-V quantum well architecture.

Got tired of WiFi blips interrupting my work so I installed wired ethernet. Connecting the sockets was surprisingly easy, just needed a punchdown tool and mine came with a handy cable tester. So far,so good! Made it through a 2H zoom tutorial without incident.#DIYwithNed

Impressive running costs for this battery swap electric truck. @AukeHoekstra’s prophecy on the economic merit of electric trucks is coming true!
