Researchers from the Ruđer Bošković Institute, in collaboration with international colleagues, have redefined the reasons why one of today’s most promising solar technologies is still struggling with its own stability in a recently published Perspective paper in the prestigious journal Nature Energy.

The startup Luxyon, founded by Stjepan Dolić from the Ruđer Bošković Institute (IRB) and his colleague Jakov Kukin, won first place at the recent Nuqleus Demo Day held as part of the Liftoff conference. Among a dozen promising teams from across Croatia, the duo impressed the jury with their vision and prototype of flexible, ultra-light perovskite solar cells, securing a place in the third and final phase of the program. This phase includes individualized mentorship and targeted support for the commercialization of their innovations.

Detekcija vodika ključna je za sigurnost u industrijskim i energetskim postrojenjima, posebice u svijetu koji se sve više okreće čistim energetskim rješenjima. Za takvim rješenjima traga i tim istraživača s Instituta Ruđer Bošković (IRB) i Centra izvrsnosti za napredne materijale i senzore (CEMS).

Croatian solar photovoltaic (PV) cell producer Solvis and the country’s internationally competitive Ruđer Bošković Institute (RBI) will work on the development of innovative PV cells and modules in 2019 under a joint project worth nearly EUR 2 million, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
