THREAD on England & Omicron and what is going on. My take on it. TLDR: things are pretty bad and I'm sad & bewildered at lack of govt action and general levels of hopium. 1/18

Impressive running costs for this battery swap electric truck. AukeHoekstra’s prophecy on the economic merit of electric trucks is coming true! youtu.be/VznrjHJ_jyI

Got tired of WiFi blips interrupting my work so I installed wired ethernet. Connecting the sockets was surprisingly easy, just needed a punchdown tool and mine came with a handy cable tester. So far,so good! Made it through a 2H zoom tutorial without incident.#DIYwithNed

The clever people at NASA have created this deceptively simple yet highly effective data visualisation showing monthly global temperatures between 1880-2021. Watch until the end... Learn more here - svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4975 #ClimateEmergency #ClimateCrisis #climate

There is an opening for a Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) Module Development & Testing Engineer in my team! A great opportunity for a motivated electrical engineer or applied physicist who wants to have a large impact at an early-stage company. boards.greenhouse.io/antora/jobs/44…

If you want to be a good twitter steward Elon Musk, this is one of the most thoughtful, non-partisan, scientifically informed, and result oriented texts you could read. It's by Jonathan Haidt who loves free speech and understands both Repubs & Dems. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

New paper with a very cool result! By using the radiation emitted by the Earth as it cools down at night, we can generate a (very small) amount of power using a sort of anti-solar cell. Thanks to Ned Ekins-Daukes Michael Nielsen & other authors not on Twitter newsroom.unsw.edu.au/news/science-t…

Terrific result by Ryan France, John Geisz, Myles Steiner and team NREL achieving a world record 39.5% AM1.5G and 34.2% AM0 efficiency using a multi-junction III-V quantum well architecture. cell.com/joule/fulltext…

So long Philadelphia. Many thanks to all at 53nd IEEE PVSC for a highly enjoyable #pvsec49 conference. I presented our work demonstrating a thermoradiative diode. Conference highlight for me was Ryan France NREL announcing record breaking QW solar cells.

Had great fun discussing our night-time solar research on one of my favourite podcasts Nick Zeltzer ! Nick and Alex usually interview industrial clean tech leaders so we also covered how university research can help in the early stages of tech. innovation.podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/nig…

Unsurprised by this finding but something needs to change. Double blind review? If expert peer review does not focus on content then scientific publishing becomes a network of influencers. Full paper papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

So: video of my keynote at Hydrogen World Congress World Hydrogen Congress! 1. We need clean hydrogen; 2. First Decarbonize 94MT fossil H2; 3. Then aviation, shipping, long term storage; 4. The rest is +/- bollox; 5. H2 is all about hubs, industry & giga-projects. vimeo.com/761934482

Publicly funded research should be publicly available.

Arrived in Nagoya for @PVSEC33 just in time to catch an eclipse of the moon!

What a way to end the year! 🙌 A solar powered car designed and built by UNSW students has set a world record by travelling 1000km on a single charge in under 12 hours. ☀️🏎️ Sunswift 7 is the latest solar-powered car from UNSW, with the first being built in 1996.

Come work with a big enthusastic research team here at UNSW Sydney (omegasilicon.solar/team)! Ned Ekins-Daukes A/Prof. Murad Tayebjee Prof. Tim Schmidt Dane McCamey Phoebe Bram Hoex Jon Beves

China is building renewables, and moving to electric vehicles much faster than many people realise. This will have a big impact on global decarbonisation, and the climate. My latest article in The Washington Post: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

Epic three days of tuition, coding and coaching at the 1st Silicon Tandem Solar Cell computer simulation workshop held at SKKU, S.Korea. By day 3, Phoebe had the class performing multiscale ray and wave optical simulations using the solcore & rayflare python packages!

A new paper from our team establishes the efficiency limits and design principles for coloured multi-junction solar cells. Great collaboration with Phoebe Janne Halme and Jessica Jiang doi.org/10.1039/D3EE03…

Many congratulations to Dr Xu Xixiang, who has won the 53nd IEEE PVSC Cherry Award for his outstanding work demonstrating 27.3% high-efficiency silicon solar cells at the LONGi company. We learned how Dr Xu has had a truly international career and is also an accomplished poet!
