Key Highlights
•
Researchers analyzed hundreds of perovskite solar cells to uncover exactly how they break down under heat and light, identifying specific temperature-dependent failure modes for the first time. This breakthrough provides a clear roadmap for developing more durable and commercially viable solar panels by targeting these degradation pathways.

Scientists used a laser technique to chemically modify nickel oxide surfaces, creating a stronger bond for the molecular layers that make high-efficiency perovskite solar cells possible. This innovation led to large-scale solar modules with a record certified efficiency of 22.01% and exceptional long-term durability under real-world operating conditions.

A new study shows that the common practice of adding a “risk premium” to discount rates when planning geothermal projects actually leads to worse decisions, higher exploration costs, and increased financial losses. The authors propose a better framework that combines physical models of the geothermal reservoir with economic simulations, enabling more accurate risk management and smarter investment choices.
