29.03.22 – A collaborative team of scientists led by Professor Michael Grätzel at EPFL’s School of Basic Sciences have demonstrated a technique for producing perovskite photovoltaic materials on an industrial scale, which will reduce the cost and improve the performance … Continue reading →
18.03.22 – Two professors at EPFL’s Institute of Physics have been awarded Consolidator Grants from the European Research Council (ERC). As Switzerland currently has a non-association status to Horizon Europe, their projects will be financed by Switzerland’s State Secretariat for Education, Research … Continue reading →
17.03.22 – Semiconducting 2D transition metal dichalogenide (2D-TMD) nanosheets are promising materials for ultrathin optoelectronic devices, but most scalable routes lead to defective nanosheets and disappointing performance. Now, in a new article, Rebekah Wells of the LIMNO lab and her … Continue reading →
