Soriano: Death By Covid-19 (Part 2)
May 04, 2021
When you die or become permanently disabled, your business may die or be permanently disabled on the same day—not because something wrong was done— but because nothing was done! Founders and key business leaders should never think they are supermen. The truth is, they will soon die. No ifs or buts. It is just a matter of time.
The past few weeks have been extremely challenging and downright depressing. We have seen and experienced too many deaths due to Covid-19. I have been witness to several business owner-friends and clients that died without a succession plan, throwing the business ...

A different angle on perovskite defects
May 04, 2021
Scientists in China took a closer look at the role of defects in limiting the performance of perovskite solar cells, demonstrating a screening effect that could be tuned to make material defects “invisible” to charge carriers, greatly improving cell performance. Using this approach they demonstrate a 22% efficient inverted perovskite solar cell, and theorize several new pathways to even higher performance.
While scientists have quickly pushed the efficiency of perovskite solar cellsto levels that rival or even surpass some of today’s commercial technologies, gaining a full understanding of all the mechanisms at work within the material will be ...
