̽��ֱ��sixth annual Winton Symposium will be held on 9 November at the ̽��ֱ��’s Cavendish Laboratory on the theme of Energy Storage and Distribution.

Researchers have quantified the astonishingly high speeds at which future solar cells would have to operate in order to stretch what are presently seen as natural limits on their energy conversion efficiency.

̽��ֱ��£26 million Maxwell Centre will focus on “blue skies” research in areas such as efficient energy generation, storage and use, including work on photovoltaics, energy storage, refrigeration, lighting and ICT.

Perovskite materials can recycle light particles – a finding which could lead to a new generation of affordable, high-performance solar cells.

̽��ֱ��Vice Chancellor of the ̽��ֱ�� of Cambridge is to lead a delegation of academics to the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum at Davos, Switzerland, in January 2016, to explore issues including carbon reduction technologies and how science and engineering can best address society's greatest challenges.

An event taking place next week in Cambridge will highlight some of the key scientific, technological and policy issues relevant to the Paris climate summit which begins later this month.

Aditya Sadhanala wanders over to the wall, turns a pulley, and a wooden box about a metre squared swings up and away. Below it gleams an array of carefully positioned lasers, deflectors and sensors surrounding a piece of glass no bigger than a contact lens. He flips a switch and creates a ‘mirage’.

On 28 September, the fourth annual Winton Symposium will be held at the Cavendish Laboratory on the theme of ‘Green Computing’.

Topping out event for pioneering new building which will provide a home for blue skies thinking and interaction with industry.

On September 29th, the Department of Physics will host the third annual Winton Symposium at the Cavendish Laboratory on the theme of ‘Global Challenges for Science and Technology’.
