Experience the future of driving: the world's first off-road solar-powered SUV designed by a team of Eindhoven University of Technology students, tested in Morocco. 710km range with a top speed of 145km/h, light-weight and ultra-efficient. Don't miss out!

New research from the Netherlands has led to the creation of a monolithic perovskite-PERC tandem solar cell with a tunnel recombination junction, achieving an efficiency of 23.7%. This technology is expected to be beneficial for scaling up to larger sizes.

Scientists from Solliance companions Delft University of Technology, Eindhoven University of Technology and TNO have established a tandem perovskite-silicon solar cell using a new strategy to interface engineering.

Solar energy is ending up being a progressively preferred source of renewable resource. Current solar panels with silicon as their main component are inexpensive and reliable. However, using a reasonably new material, perovskite, could dramatically improve the solar cell's effectiveness. TU/e researcher Bas van Gorkom developed a very sensitive technique for measuring defects in the crystal framework of perovskite. This is necessary, since a far better quality of crystal can improve the stability of perovskite.

Researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology and also TNO at Holst Centre have actually established a sensor that transforms light into an electric signal at an unbelievable 200% efficiency-- an apparently impossible figure that was accomplished through the exceptional nature of quantum physics.

Making use of green light and a double-layered cell, Ph.D. scientist Riccardo Ollearo has generated a photodiode that has level of sensitivity that several can just imagine.

Scientists from Eindhoven University of Technology, Delft University of Technology as well as TNO (partner in Solliance) have actually made an integrated solar-assisted water-splitting system with a flow electrochemical cell and a monolithic perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell.

Solar cells made of perovskite are cheap, very easy to create, and also almost as efficient as silicon, the product generally utilized in solar cells.

Scientists from TNO, Imec and Eindhoven University of Technology, companions in the Netherlands-based Solliance research consortium, have actually established a transparent perovskite solar cell with near-infrared efficiency of 18.6 percent.

To aid advertise so-called radiant solar concentrators, TU/e researcher Michael Debije along with professionals in Italy and the UK propose details dimension procedures as a brand-new golden standard.

Emitting light from silicon has actually been the 'Holy Grail' in the microelectronics market for years. Fixing this problem would certainly change computer, as chips will certainly come to be quicker than ever before. Scientists from Eindhoven University of Technology currently was successful: they have actually established an alloy with silicon that can emit light. The outcomes have actually been released in the journal Nature. The group will certainly currently begin developing a silicon laser to be incorporated right into existing chips.

The Solar Team of the Eindhoven University of Technology won the World Solar Challenge in Australia in the cruiser category. This is the fourth year in a row that the Eindhoven team won gold in this category for family solar-powered cars, the university announced on Twitter.
