Safakath Karuthedath, a research scientist in Prof. Frederic’s Laquai research group has been selected as one of the speakers for the Next Generation Solar Energy (NGSE) PhD-Postdoc Series. This series aims to promote the work of emerging scientists in the field of solar energy. Whereas many talks at mainstream conferences are given by experienced professors and group leaders, here only early career researchers will be given a stage to promote a new generation of promising scientists.

KSC Professor of Material Science and Engineering, Thomas Anthopoulos will be one of the speakers at the international workshop on Emerging Solar Energy Materials and Applications (ESEMA), 2022. The workshop is organized in the frame of the French CNRS networks:- on Organic Electronics "OERA" - on Hybrid Perovskite "HPERO" - on Organic and Hybrid Photovoltaic "NANORGASOL."

The two-week Winter Enrichment Program (WEP) returns in 2023 from January 8 to 19 under the theme EDGE – Transform the World You Know, chaired by Professor Derya Baran and co-chair Xin Gao.

Strategic National Advancement division at KAUST arranged the first ever “Green Roads” initiative on Friday, April 1, 2022.

nanoGe Spring meeting, 2022 (NSM22), was an online conference held from March 7 – 11, 2022.

Science and gender equality are an integral part of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) has reaffirmed its commitment to the United Nations’ sustainable development goals in line with the Kingdom's Vision 2030 which draws on this great nation's intrinsic strengths on its way towards a sustainable future.

KAUST Solar Center (KSC) is excited to share our science and technology with you within the framework of the KAUST Research Open Week.

Sunlight offers a potential solution in the search for an energy source that does not harm the planet, but this depends on finding a way to efficiently turn electromagnetic energy into electricity. Researchers from KAUST have shown how a known herbicide can improve this conversion in organic devices.

A simple process for depositing silicon oxide onto silicon wafers could be a great step forward for making silicon-based solar cells. Researchers at KAUST have used a method called plasma processing in a chamber filled with carbon dioxide gas.

A polymer previously used to protect solar cells may find new applications in consumer electronics, reveals a KAUST team studying thin films capable of converting thermal energy into electricity.

A process developed at KAUST for depositing extremely thin and smooth films can make it easier to manufacture stable solar cells based on quantum dot technology.

Understanding how solar cell operation changes as it moves from the lab into the real world is essential for optimizing their design prior to mass production. KAUST researchers show how perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells function in a sunny and hot environment.

Evolutionary search has helped scientists predict the lowest energy structure of a two-dimensional (2D) material, B2P6, with some remarkable features, including structural anisotropy and Janus geometry.

Solar cells can now be made so thin, light and flexible that they can rest on a soap bubble. The new cells, which efficiently capture energy from light, could offer an alternative way to power novel electronic devices, such as medical skin patches, where conventional energy sources are unsuitable.

A novel technique for mass-producing better-performing perovskite-based solar cells could lay the foundations for next-generation devices that have more efficient power than currently available technologies.

Better understanding the science that underpins well-known techniques for developing quantum dots—tiny semiconducting nanocrystals—can help reduce the guesswork of current practices as material scientists use them to make better solar panels and digital displays.

Glasgow-born Professor Iain McCulloch has been named the winner of the Royal Society of Chemistry's Interdisciplinary Prize.

Assistant Professor of Material Science and Engineering Derya Baran has been selected as a new member of the Global Young Academy (GYA), the first member to represent a Saudi Arabian institution.
