Graphene, Perovskites, And Silicon – An Ideal Tandem For Efficient Solar Cells
Graphene Flagship researchers at the University of Rome Tor Vergata, the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) and its spin-off, Graphene Flagship Associate Member BeDimensional, in cooperation with ENEA have successfully combined graphene with tandem perovskite-silicon solar cells to achieve efficiencies of up to 26.3%.
Over 60 Per Cent Of Myanmar’s Mangroves Deforested In The Last 20 Years
Mangroves account for only 0.7 per cent of the Earth’s tropical forest area, but they are among the world’s most productive and important ecosystems.
Study Reveals Missoula Floods Impact On Past Abrupt Climate Changes
A new study by scientists from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and colleagues shows for the first time how massive flood events in the eastern North Pacific Ocean—known as the Missoula Floods—may have in part triggered abrupt climate changes in the Northern Hemisphere during the last deglaciation (approximately 19,000–11,700 years ago).
Early Earth May Have Been A 'waterworld'
Kevin Costner, eat your heart out. New research shows that the early Earth, home to some of our planet’s first lifeforms, may have been a real-life “waterworld”—without a continent in sight.
World’s Sandy Beaches Under Threat From Climate Change
Half of the world's beaches could disappear by the end of the century due to coastal erosion, according to a new study led by the JRC.
