Supermassive black holes put a brake on stellar births

21 March 2022

Black holes with masses equivalent to millions of suns do put a brake on the birth of new stars, say astronomers. Using machine learning and three state-of-the-art simulations to back up results from a large sky survey, researchers from the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge have resolved a 20-year long debate on the formation of stars.

Mystery of high-performing solar cell materials revealed in stunning clarity

22 November 2021

Researchers have visualised, for the first time, why perovskites – materials which could replace silicon in next-generation solar cells - are seemingly so tolerant of defects in their structure. ̽»¨Ö±²¥, led by researchers from the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge, are published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology.
