Researchers from Pennsylvania State University have created a narrowband (NB) imaging sensor combining R/G/B perovskite NB sensor array (mimicking the R/G/B photoreceptors in the eye) with a neuromorphic algorithm (mimicking the intermediate neural network of the human visual system) for high-fidelity panchromatic imaging.

Researchers from North Carolina State University, Pennsylvania State University and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have found that channeling ions into defined pathways in perovskite materials improves the stability and operational performance of perovskite solar cells. This breakthrough in sustainable energy news could revolutionize photovoltaic technology.

Penn State scientists use a new process called EM-FAST to create large perovskite devices in minutes, allowing for more efficient and cost-effective fabrication of next-generation solar cells.

Establishing brand-new ultrathin metal electrodes has actually enabled scientists to produce semitransparent perovskite solar cells that are extremely efficient and also can be paired with traditional silicon cells to considerably improve the efficiency of both devices, stated a global team of researchers. The study stands for an action towards developing completely transparent solar cells.
