Good (Encouraging) Stuff (Part 1)

Good. But also, I’ll need to remember to stay off the outdoors forums for a bit. They’re going to be angry (well angrier than normal).

Way outside of my comfort zone of science smarts but if this is true it has major implications of global proportions. Wars will be averted IMO.

“show 53 people were the victim of homicide in 2021/22“

About as many as a month in Philadelphia.

And for scale, Philadelphia has about 30% of the population.

After reading the article, I agree it was poorly phrased, but this caught my eye:

The latest development pushes the power conversion efficiency to between 28.4-30.2 per cent, while still maintaining long-term operational stability over 500 hours of testing.

From the abstract.

The best performing cosensitized solar cells exhibited a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.2% (independently confirmed 15.2%)

… with some tests showing 30% conversion. So that’s amazing
