Perovskite Solar ‘Stickers’ Are Almost Here: How Flexible Laminates Could Turn Walls, Cars & Roofs into Power Plants

Ultra‑thin perovskite photovoltaics laminated onto flexible films are moving from lab to market. Japan is investing big (billions) and early products and pilots are appearing. The promise: lightweight power on curved or weight‑limited surfaces with fast, low‑temperature, roll‑to‑roll manufacturing. The hurdles: durability

Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs): Sponge-Like Crystals Poised to Transform Carbon Capture, Clean Energy and More

A Game-Changer in Advanced Materials and Sustainability Imagine a material with so much internal surface area that a pinch of it contains the equivalent of six football fields of area news.berkeley.edu. Such metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous, crystalline compounds made of metal
