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

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

MOFs hold a world-record internal surface area of up to about 7,000 m^2 per gram, with theoretical designs up to 14,600 m^2/g. Over roughly 20 years researchers have created nearly 90,000 unique MOF structures, with hundreds of thousands more predicted by theory.
