Congratulations to @elifndayi and everyone else @lnet_epfl on a new approach to fabricating stable moncrystalline copper flakes. This has great promise for plasmonics and especially CO2 conversion, so great to me a part of.

[Elif Nur Dayi @elifndayi]

Happy to share the first output of my PhD, now available in @JPhysChem. We present a new growth approach that yields large, monocrystalline, pure copper microflakes with exceptional oxidation resistance. Thanks to @lnet_epfl for supervision

We've just shown that the limiting efficiency of solar panels in the real world is in fact higher than has been realised! Huge thanks to @lnet_epfl and @StranksLab for helping put this together. https://t.co/JGlxPTiDvE

Cadmium Telluride is one of only two commercially successful solar cell materials. We just revealed that the standard method to optimise it results in behaviour that is much more complex, and less beneficial, than previously thought. https://t.co/LSnErSqNUl

Knowing how much light your sample absorbs is key for devices including solar panels and photocatalytic systems. Our latest work shows how to measure this accurately, including at the microscale: https://t.co/xWBPOjyqPv @EPFL @lnet_epfl

[Giulia Tagliabue @lnet_epfl]

Our new work on light-intensity switching of a #synaptic device has been published in AdvancedScience. Congratulations @HongyuTang and @EPFL_tarique and great thanks to MinSeokJang @kaistpr for the collaboration! @EPFL_en @snsf_ch https://t.co/GeBSmoGzwb
