Nestled amongst prisms and scopes, was a mysterious microscope. Read more 28 May 2024 Paper Pitch: More efficient solar cells Did you know that solar cells typically convert only 20% of the sunlight into electrical power? That means that 80% is not utilised, leaving a large room for improvement for next generation solar cells. Researchers from Delft University of Technology developed a method to find new materials for more efficient solar cells.

How does a living cell emerge from lifeless molecules?” wondered a multidisciplinary team of Dutch scientists. To answer these questions the research team, led by the TU Delft, aims to build a living synthetic cell from lifeless biomolecules, using laboratory evolution and artificial intelligence for the first time. The ten-year research programme to do so, entitled “Evolving life from non-life” or simply “EVOLF”, was awarded 40 million euro by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) as part of the Summit grants scheme.
