Had a nice time at Norfolk with the @StranksLab for our annual retreat, including stimulating discussions on the use of AI in research and brainstorming ambitious research projects. Thanks to Sam and all colleagues in the group

Excited to share my latest co-first author work, published in @NatureNano! Here, we show thermodynamically guided growth and controlled phase distribution using a halide-site-substituting spacer, enabling efficient vapor-deposited quasi-2D perovskite LEDs

Delighted to present my work at the Cambridge Microscopy Meeting 2026, on visualising energy flows in emerging semiconductors for more efficient devices.
Enjoyed the rich discussions and valuable learnings.
Thanks to the organizers and sponsors @cebcambridge @StranksLab

🚨New postdoc position🚨
@StranksLab postdoc to focus on vapour deposition of multijunction perovskite solar cells + other optoelectronic devices (e.g. for solar fuels or quantum emitters).
Apply by May 18 (sooner the better). See website for details

🗣️We were honored to welcome Prof. Sam Stranks @SamStranks from the Univ. of Cambridge @StranksLab to Kyoto Univ.!
His lecture on nanoscale characterization provided invaluable insights for our research. 😲😮😃
We look forward to our future collaboration!

At @nanoGe_Conf #MATSUS26 in Barcelona, Spain, @andrea_rogolino presented our recent developments in #floatable materials for liquid-solid-liquid #photocatalysis ☀️
More to come soon ... 📢

In 2012, we reported the first solid-state halide perovskite solar cell, introducing a concept that was far from obvious at the time. This Perspective revisits how that idea emerged, the experimental path that led to it, and how the field evolved from those early results. It also helps clarify aspects of the early history that have become blurred over time.

Delighted to share my latest collaboration work from my stint at @astar_research where we investigate the bipolar photovoltaic effect in a vdW heterostructure for light polarization detection

A great experimental session with X-rays at the Diamond Light Source with @JonahMessinger and Dr Oliver Fox. Many thanks to Olly and the Diamond team for the tremendous assistance!

so excited to have Ashlee tell our story
Big solar scoop this morning. @SwiftSolarPV is about to mount the U.S.'s last, best attempt to be a massive player in the solar industry.
It has acquired a bunch of tech assets, IP and key people from Meyer Burger, the onetime Swiss/German solar giant. The old stuff will be paired with Swift's perovskite solar tech in a bid to try and outflank China's solar industry with more efficient, cheaper cells.
We shall see. . . .

Great couple of weeks at @DiamondLightSou carrying out experiments at the i07 GIWAXS beamline and ePSIC electron microscopy facility. 🔬
We are very grateful to the beamline teams for their support and to Diamond for their continued trust in our work.

Congrats to Dr Wenxin Mao and all co-authors on the latest publication in @J_A_C_S! We discuss how illumination can result in halide ions switching octahedral positions in 2D mixed-halide perovskites, giving rise to substantial changes in optical properties and electronic bandgap

✨ The next Cambridge Physics Centre Lecture, Building the Smallest Box to Trap Light, is on 22 Jan, 6pm.
Dr Rakesh Arul will explore how we can use techniques from nanotechnology, chemistry, and physics to make light work for us. 👉 buff.ly/Jh313zw
