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

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

A flexible perovskite module with WVTR ≈ 5.0 × 10⁻³ g/m²/day retained 84% of its power after 2,000 hours at 85°C/85% RH (Damp-Heat). Japan is subsidizing Sekisui Chemical to build a 100 MW film-type perovskite plant by 2027 to help reach about

  • Three quantum computing stocks that could make a millionaire
    January 8, 2026, 8:52 PM EST. Quantum computing remains in early stages, with substantial upside and material risk. The piece highlights three stocks that could deliver millionaire-level gains if the technology takes a major leap, but all carry high risk. IonQ relies on trapped-ion hardware and reports high gate fidelity near 99.99%, aiming to build a full quantum ecosystem similar to Nvidia's GPU software stack via its CliNR software and acquisitions in photonics, quantum sensing and space-based data transmission. Rigetti Computing markets faster superconducting qubits, claiming a speed edge over IonQ, with a 100-plus-qubit chiplet at 99.5% fidelity and plans for 1,000+ qubits by 2027. It has won about $5.7 million in orders for its Novera systems and secured a three-year award from the Air Force Research Laboratory.
