The animations made by @MSPSCardiff pupils are out!

First up is 'Kinetic Energy and Storage' which they made after learning all about it with @SarahJanePotts2 at our #ActiveOffice earlier this year.

⚠ Out now: a troubleshooting guide for infiltration issues in printed carbon #perovskite #SolarCells.

Published in a @RoySocChem journal, the resource should enhance reproducibility & quality control.

I think most of us are in denial about environmental crisis but I put it down not to a different core reason in my new book It's a Gas - the invisibility of carbon dioxide gas. Here is a extract from my book

[SPECIFIC @info_specific]

*NEW BLOG* Printed, carbon-based #perovskite #SolarCells are showing huge promise for commercialisation, but challenges remain.

The latest research from our PV team is tackling these barriers ➡ https://t.co/Y8JcPZWffM

[SPECIFIC @info_specific]

⚠ A new @RoySocChem paper finds that, for carbon #perovskite #SolarCells made with a green solvent, an ageing step is key to reaching peak performance.
