Scientists from the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have discovered a possible secret to dramatically boosting the efficiency of perovskite solar cells hidden in the nanoscale peaks and valleys of the crystalline material. Solar cells made from compounds that have the crystal structure of the mineral perovskite have captured scientists’ imaginations.
CYNORA, a leader in blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials, has appointed Dr Andreas Haldi as its Chief Marketing Officer. With his strong technical and business experience, Haldi is expected to reinforce CYNORA in the forthcoming commercialisation of its high-performance blue OLED materials.
Flex, a leading sketch-to-scale solutions provider based in Singapore, has teamed up with MAS Holdings, a technology apparel design-to-delivery solutions provider from Colombo, Sri Lanka, to develop revolutionary new wearable technologies that accelerate and integrate the Intelligence of Things into clothing and enable more natural, intuitive interactions between people and technology.
