NREL researchers highlight opportunities for manufacturing perovskite solar panels with a long-term vision

DOE/National Renewable Energy Laboratory
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers working at the forefront of an emerging photovoltaic (PV) technology are thinking ahead about how to scale, deploy, and design future solar panels to be easily recyclable.

Solar panels made of perovskites may eventually play an important role amid global decarbonization efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As the technology emerges from the testing stages, it is a perfect time to think critically about how best to design the solar panels to minimize their impact on the environment decades from now.

Microwave popcorn to particle accelerators: magnetrons show promise as radiofrequency source

DOE/Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility
Grant and Award Announcement

Building on nearly 15 years of research, physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility are exploring magnetrons as the drivers of modern particle accelerators. This could lower the carbon footprint of these energy-hungry machines and help them benefit societyfar beyond the realm of scientific research.
