On November 9th the journal Nature Energy highlighted a Nano Letters publication of the Nanoscale Solar Cells group in which they present a new type of tandem solar cell: the three terminal configuration.
In the highlight with the ominous title ‘Dawn of the three-legged beast’, the author Elsa Couderc explains the purpose of introducing a third configuration, in addition to the two existing ones. She also touches on the design of the new device and its accomplishments, such as reaching an efficiency of up to 32,9%.

Atom-thin materials: handle with care… and cling film

As materials become thinner – now reaching a thickness of single atoms – it has become ever more difficult to create large enough sheets of these materials and transfer them without cracking them into tiny flakes. Recent work by a broad Amsterdam-based team of scientists, published in the journal ACS Nano, presents a new technique that solves this problem – using an unexpected material that can be found in any home kitchen.
