New molecular layer helps perovskite–silicon solar cells last longer under heat

Solar panels made from silicon already adorn rooftops and vast fields around the world — but they are reaching their performance limits. Researchers are pairing silicon with a promising material called perovskite to capture more sunlight and generate more electricity within the same area of solar panels, and an NUS research team has found a way to make these tandem solar cells last longer even under high temperatures, paving the way for greater commercial viability.

Mr Bjorn Low, part-time lecturer at the NUS College of Design and Engineering and founder of Edible Garden City, an urban farming social enterprise, shares his insights on how, beyond consumer behaviour, we need to treat food resilience as part of our national safety net and galvanise a deeper shift from food security to food sovereignty, which is not only about supply, but participation, dignity and agency.

Why are Singapore-made shows unappealing to many Singaporeans?

Local dramas are closer to home and that proximity can make local productions feel somehow less remarkable, even when they are objectively strong. Mr Ben Chester Cheong, Associate Academic Fellow at the Faculty of Law at NUS, weighs in on the risk of the generation gap widening when we don't share common cultural references from media content, and how if we all consume global stories but rarely our own, we risk losing the emotional continuity that local storytelling once provided.
