Could solar panels protect historic buildings against rising fuel costs?
Installing solar panels on Bath Abbey could save 10 tonnes of CO2 per year and pay for itself in 13 years, says new research by @uniofbath @LivUni @sheffielduni @cdtpv @bathabbey https://t.co/3tJPa8SGIT

As a STEM ambassador, I recently wrote an article for Catalyst magazine aimed at explaining current solar cell research to young people. Have a read of it here and see some of the other great articles in this issue of the magazine: https://t.co/4HohccGa1g #STEM #PV

Pre-print on #Ga2O3 polymorphs. Great collaboration leadership from @bluebananna 👩‍🔬👩‍💻with @livunisire @livuniphysics @livunieng @UCLChemistry @jlugiessen @TUBerlin @binghamtonu @Livermore_Lab @UniJena @ETSFlab @Jack_swal @Leannee_Jones @MatthewSmiles5 @philmurgs @PiperXray

[Dr Anna Regoutz @bluebananna]

After LOTS of hard work with an amazing team, you can now read all about how polymorphism affects the electronic structure of Ga2O3 🤩 Great #spectroscopy and theory from conduction to valence to ALL the core states. Check out the preprint on @arxiv: https://t.co/4bLIcZUy96
