CAM-IES Symposium on Photovoltaics and Thermoelectrics - 8 Nov 2017

The CAM-IES Symposium on Photovoltaics and Thermoelectrics was held on 8 November at the Maxwell Centre with 85 attendees from academia and industry. The Symposium highlighted cutting-edge energy materials research, exploring what happens at the interfaces between the high-tech materials used to fabricate solar cells. It...

Clean energy: experts outline how governments can successfully invest before it’s too late

Researchers distil twenty years of lessons from clean energy funding into six ‘guiding principles’. They argue that governments must eschew constant reinventions and grant scientists greater influence before our “window of opportunity” to avert climate change closes. In a recent Nature article, researchers from the...

Carbon capture: universities and industry work together to tackle emissions

It is understood that the world will not become carbon-free in the near future, developed and developing countries rely on fossil fuels for transport, industry and power, all of which release CO 2 into the atmosphere. As sea levels rise, ‘unprecedented’ weather events become commonplace and the polar ice caps melt, the...

Business Secretary announces founding partners of £65 million battery technology research institute

The Faraday Institution, a new, multi-million pound research institute was announced yesterday (Monday 02 October 2017), by Greg Clark, Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. It will drive and accelerate fundamental research in developing battery technologies, and its translation. The Institution...

CAM-IES Autumn Symposium

The EPSRC Centre of Advanced Materials for Integrated Energy Systems (CAM-IES) invited PhD students and postdoctoral researchers to present their recent results at the CAM-IES Autumn Symposium, which was held at the Blizard Institute on the Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) campus on 21 September 2017, and attended by...

Defects in next-generation solar cells can be healed with light

Researchers have shown that defects in the molecular structure of perovskites – a material which could revolutionise the solar cell industry – can be “healed” by exposing it to light and just the right amount of humidity. The international team of researchers demonstrated in 2016 that defects in the crystalline structure...

Harnessing religious energies for better energy policy

The Faith, Energy and Society Workshop , 3 March 2017, brought together academics and practitioners from different disciplines and institutions throughout the UK. The workshop, as a part of the Energy@Cambridge's Grand Challenge, ‘In Search of “Good” Energy Policy’ , explored the insights, beliefs, and practices that...

Collaborating to develop sustainable energy in Africa

Understanding mechanical behaviour of different soil types is key to successful and economic construction. The UK has pioneered tunnelling achievement and is a world-leader in the area, as there is a wealth of knowledge on saturated soils. However, large parts of the world where natural soil is partially saturated, less is...
