Solar cells have come a long way, but inexpensive, thin film solar cells are still far behind more expensive, crystalline solar cells in efficiency. Now, a team of researchers suggests that using two thin films of different materials may be the way to go to create affordable, thin film cells with about 34% efficiency.
Theoretically, two layers are better than one for solar-cell efficiency | Penn State University

Plant breeding has been peddled as an important weapon in the fight against food insecurity. Tapping into a crop’s genetics lets scientists create new and improved plant versions that are more resilient to drought, rising temperatures and pests. Across the United States, breeding programs in public institutions like universities play a big role in this process and train the next generation of plant breeders. But recently released research shows the industry could be at risk. A new paper, published in the journal Crop Science, finds that the number of breeders in these programs is shrinking significantly.
