A research team in Iran has designed a four-terminal perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells with a 19.3%-efficient bottom heterojunction cell and a 12.7%-efficient perovskite top cell. Both subcells ...

In Los Angeles, where cool pavements are currently specified, temperature reductions attributed to increased pavement albedo (light reflection, rather than absorption) resulted in more than $90 ...
