A study by researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay has explored optimal albedo and tilt angles for bifacial perovskite solar cells. They have discovered that a rear-side albedo of 0.5 combined with a 20-degree tilt angle delivers maximum efficiency. Lambertian reflection and albedo key to boosting performance Bifacial perovskite solar cells (Bi-PSCs) have gained significant attention in the photovoltaic (PV) community for their potential to boost power generation, suitability for integration into building structures, and application in multijunction PV systems. The new study explores the fabrication of efficient bifacial perovskite solar cells and examines their unique properties through various characterization techniques, including Lambertian reflection effects from tilt angle adjustments and bottom albedo illumination, according to lead author Paul Ananta. The scientists identified the transparent back contact, made of indium zinc oxide (IZO), as the core component of their bifacial solar cells. They highlighted its excellent conductivity, high mobility, and optimal transparency. The device features an active area of 0.175 cm2 when illuminated from the front and 0.14 cm2 from the rear. The cell features a transparent fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) substrate, an electron transport layer (ETL) made of tin oxide (SnO2), a perovskite absorber, a hole transport layer (HTL) composed of spiro-OMeTAD and molybdenum oxide (MoOx), and an indium zinc oxide (IZO) layer. The control device achieved a maximum power conversion efficiency of 17.46% under front-side 1 Sun AM1.5G illumination. A significant impact of ground Lambertian reflection was observed with tilt angle variations, increasing efficiency from 17.46% to 18.82% as the tilt angle reached 20 degrees. The researchers also found that increasing the rear-side albedo to 0.5 Sun resulted in a maximum efficiency of 26% and a bifaciality factor of 89.3% at a 20-degree tilt angle. SCAPS-1D simulations confirm experimental results The synergistic effect of 0.5 Sun albedo and a 20-degree tilt angle resulted in bifacial perovskite solar cells with an efficiency of 26.46%. SCAPS-1D simulations were also used to validate the experimental Lambertian reflection effects. The researchers also found that the cells demonstrated intrinsic self-encapsulation and chemical durability. Moreover, the study predicts that cost-effective and highly efficient bifacial perovskite solar cells will become a leading photovoltaic technology for electricity generation in both single-junction and tandem configurations in the near future. Perovskite solar cells, developed by Tsutomu Miyasaka in 2009, marked a breakthrough in photovoltaics and offer a promising alternative to traditional solar technologies. Now, leading research labs worldwide are exploring these next-gen cells, which can absorb a wider spectrum of sunlight. Furthermore, innovations like perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells enhance the technology by merging the strengths of perovskite and crystalline silicon, enabling the capture of a broader spectrum of sunlight and boosting overall efficiency.Farmer's 22 lead Youngstown State over Oakland 66-50Jon Coupal: The Gann Limit is back in the news

Kalu Condems Purported Expulsion Of Ugochinyere From PDPNew Delhi : Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, on Saturday, December 28, slammed the central government for performing former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh’s last rites at Nigambodh Ghat instead of a designated memorial site for national leaders. In a post on X, Congress leader and the Lok Sabha’s leader of opposition Rahul Gandhi expressed his disappointment, stating, “The great son of Mother India and the first Sikh Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh Ji, has been insulted by the present government by performing his last rites at Nigambodh Ghat. During his decade-long tenure, India emerged as an economic superpower, and his policies continue to support the poor and marginalised sections of society.” He added, “Traditionally, all former Prime Ministers of India have been accorded the dignity of having their last rites performed at designated memorial sites. These sites not only honour their immense contributions but also provide citizens the opportunity to pay their last respects without inconvenience. Dr Manmohan Singh, a visionary leader and an icon of his community, deserved the highest respect and a memorial. The government should have upheld this tradition and paid due homage to this great son of India.” भारत माता के महान सपूत और सिख समुदाय के पहले प्रधानमंत्री डॉ मनमोहन सिंह जी का अंतिम संस्कार आज निगमबोध घाट पर करवाकर वर्तमान सरकार द्वारा उनका सरासर अपमान किया गया है। एक दशक के लिए वह भारत के प्रधानमंत्री रहे, उनके दौर में देश आर्थिक महाशक्ति बना और उनकी नीतियां आज भी देश के... The Congress party’s remarks have sparked a political debate, with supporters and critics commenting on the appropriateness of the venue for the last rites of one of India’s most celebrated leaders. BJP, however, slammed the Congress party for engaging in what it termed “dirty politics” over the demise of Dr Manmohan Singh. Speaking to IANS, BJP spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi reaffirmed the Modi government’s commitment to allocating space for a memorial in honour of the late leader. Former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh was laid to rest with full State honours at Delhi’s Nigambodh Ghat on Saturday, as the nation bid an emotional farewell to the Congress stalwart who was fondly known as the ‘Architect of India’s economic reforms’. The funeral was attended by President Droupadi Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and other dignitaries from both ruling and opposition parties. Foreign dignitaries, including Bhutan Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay and Mauritius Foreign Minister Dhananjay Ramful, also attended the solemn ceremony. Manmohan Singh Ji led India with immense wisdom and integrity. His humility and deep understanding of economics inspired the nation. My heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Kaur and the family.

President Javier Milei’s government is evaluating the future of an iconic building in the centre of Buenos Aires that formerly housed government ministries and has a 31-metre-high artwork featuring Peronist icon Eva ‘Evita’ Perón. In a recent interview, Cabinet Chief Guillermo Francos said that the so-called ‘Edificio MOP,’ or Public Works Ministry building – an enormous tower in the middle of the 9 de Julio Avenue – could be demolished entirely, removing one of Buenos Aires’ most iconic images from the City skyline. He put its potential destruction down to the building’s elevated "costs of functioning ... since it is not in good condition." Francos said the decision would be taken by Human Capital Sandra Pettovello, who he said is “analysing all her Ministry’s infrastructure” and whether “the building is needed or not.” "It’s a building which is not only in bad condition but which also hampers traffic in a central thoroughfare of the City," pointed out the official. Pettovello’s portfolio was founded by President Javier Milei last December upon taking office. Nicknamed a ‘super-ministry’ due to the amount of other departments it assumed control of, the building falls under the Human Capital Ministry’s remit. The MOP building most recently housed the former Social Development Ministry, which Pettovello absorbed into her portfolio. The building has already been subjected to an identical debate – during the 1989-1999 Carlos Menem presidency – but has remained functioning. In 2011 Kirchnerism added enormous iron portraits of Eva Perón to its northern and southern facades, with one extending more than 30 metres. For now, the decision technically depends on Pettovello, but government sources expect an issue of this magnitude will be decided by President Javier Milei and his sister, Presidential Chief-of-Staff Karina Milei. Francos himself observed that the idea "is not new" since that idea has been around for "decades," through successive administrations. "The demolition of the building, which is in the middle of [Avenida] 9 de Julio, is nothing new. We’ve heard talk about it for decades. I remember when I was a City councillor in the 1990s, it was an issue always under discussion," recalled Francos. The well-known MOP building, designed in rationalist style, was inaugurated in 1936 as the headquarters of the then-Public Works Ministry. At the time, it was the first and only skyscraper to be constructed on Avenida 9 de Julio, the capital’s main throughfare. Its style and privileged view converted the sport into an iconic part of the City landscape, although its location in the Monserrat neighbourhood interrupts the traffic flow. An antenna was installed which permitted the country’s first television transmission in 1951. On August 22 of the same year, on a platform raised next to this building, Eva Perón confirmed her vice-presidential candidacy to a crowd, though she would renounce it just a week after for different motives, among them illness. She would die on July 26 the following year Four years later the Public Works Ministry was the victim of bombing at the same time as the Plaza de Mayo. In 1991 the building was transferred to the Health Ministry. Four years later, then-President Menem proposed the demolition of the building, considering it a hindrance for traffic. But in 2002 it was declared a National Historic Monument. Eight years later, its façade and terraces were restored, maintaining its style, similar to that of the Kavanagh building and the Gran Rex cinema. The potential demolition of the building is part of a cultural battle being undertaken by the Milei administration, which is seeking to strip out tributes and references to Peronist leaders at government buildings. The Human Capital Ministry is advancing in a "process of reordering its public spaces," said Pettovello recently, referring to the removal of posters, photos and images of Eva Perón at state offices. "Public buildings belong to all Argentines," affirmed the minister, who last Saturday shared a video on social media showing her removing such items. The portfolio issued a communiqué detailing that "the Human Capital Ministry has initiated a process of reordering its public spaces with the objective of guaranteeing partisan neutrality and avoiding political propaganda out of respect for the diversity of thinking." Milei’s government recently renamed the Centro Cultural Kirchner, rebranding it as the Palacio de Libertad – using one of the three words that make up the President’s party, La Libertad Avanza. – TIMES/PERFIL Ads Space Ads SpaceONU en Colombia pide a comité contra desaparición precisar denuncia de hangar con 20.000 cuerposBJD leader’s cousin arrested for assaulting vegetable vendor
South Korea’s main opposition Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung, bottom center, shouts slogans during a news conference with his party members at the National Assembly in Seoul, South Korea, on Saturday. The signs read “Punish the rebellion leader.” Ahn Young-joon/Associated Press SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea’s embattled President Yoon Suk Yeol avoided an opposition-led attempt to impeach him over his short-lived imposition of martial law, as most ruling party lawmakers boycotted a parliamentary vote Saturday to deny a two-thirds majority needed to suspend his presidential powers. The scrapping of the motion is expected to intensify protests calling for Yoon’s ouster and deepen political chaos in South Korea, with a survey suggesting a majority of South Koreans support the president’s impeachment. Yoon’s martial law declaration drew criticism from his own ruling conservative People Power Party, but the party is also determined to oppose Yoon’s impeachment, apparently because it fears losing the presidency to liberals. After the motion fell through, members of the main liberal opposition Democratic Party rallied inside the National Assembly, chanting slogans calling for Yoon’s impeachment or resignation. The party’s floor leader, Park Chan-dae, said it will soon prepare for a new impeachment motion. Opposition parties could submit a new impeachment motion after a new parliamentary session opens next Wednesday. “We’ll surely impeach Yoon Suk Yeol, who is the greatest risk to Republic of Korea,” party leader Lee Jae-myung said. “We’ll surely bring back this country to normal before Christmas Day or year’s end.” Many experts doubt Yoon will be able to serve out his remaining 2 1⁄2 years in office. They say some PPP lawmakers could eventually join opposition parties’ efforts to impeach Yoon if public demands for it grow further. The ruling party risks “further public outrage and national confusion if they don’t find a formula fast for Yoon’s departure,” said Duyeon Kim, a senior analyst at the Center for a New American Security in Washington. PPP chair Han Dong-hun said his party will seek Yoon’s “orderly” early exit but didn’t say when he can resign. PROTESTS AGAINST YOON ARE SWELLING On Saturday, tens of thousands of people packed several blocks of roads leading to the National Assembly, waving banners, shouting slogans and dancing. Protesters also gathered in front of PPP’s headquarters near the Assembly, shouting for its lawmakers to vote to impeach Yoon. A smaller crowd of Yoon’s supporters, which still seemed to be in the thousands, rallied elsewhere in Seoul, calling the impeachment attempt unconstitutional. Impeaching Yoon required support from 200 of the National Assembly’s 300 members. The Democratic Party and five other small opposition parties, which filed the motion, have 192 seats combined. But only three lawmakers from PPP participated in the vote. The motion was scrapped without ballot counting because the number of votes didn’t reach 200. National Assembly Speaker Woo Won Shik called the result “very regrettable” and an embarrassing moment for the country’s democracy. If Yoon is impeached, his powers will be suspended until the Constitutional Court decides whether to remove him from office. If he is removed, an election to replace him must take place within 60 days. PRESIDENT APOLOGIZES FOR TURMOIL Earlier Saturday, Yoon issued an apology over the martial law decree, saying he won’t shirk legal or political responsibility for the declaration and promising not to make another attempt to impose it. He said would leave it to his party to chart a course through the country’s political turmoil, “including matters related to my term in office.” “The declaration of this martial law was made out of my desperation. But in the course of its implementation, it caused anxiety and inconveniences to the public. I feel very sorry over that and truly apologize to the people who must have been shocked a lot,” Yoon said. Since taking office in 2022, Yoon has struggled to push his agenda through an opposition-controlled parliament and grappled with low approval ratings amid scandals involving himself and his wife. In his martial law announcement Tuesday night, Yoon called parliament a “den of criminals” bogging down state affairs and vowed to eliminate “shameless North Korea followers and anti-state forces.” The declaration of martial law was the first of its kind in more than 40 years in South Korea. The turmoil has paralyzed South Korean politics and sparked alarm among key diplomatic partners like the U.S. and Japan. “Yoon’s credibility overseas has been undermined by declaring martial law, so he won’t be able to exercise leadership in his foreign policies especially when his days are numbered,” said Kim, the Center for a New American Security analyst. “Its government bureaucracy will need to continue business as usual for existing alliance and foreign policy initiatives as best it can, because there is a lot of important work to do globally.” Tuesday night saw special forces troops encircle the parliament building as army helicopters hovered overhead, but the military withdrew after the National Assembly unanimously voted to overturn the decree, forcing Yoon to lift martial law before daybreak Wednesday. Eighteen lawmakers from the ruling party voted to reject Yoon’s martial law decree along with opposition lawmakers. PPP later decided to oppose Yoon’s impeachment motion. Yoon’s speech fueled speculation that he and his party may push for a constitutional amendment to shorten his term, instead of accepting impeachment, as a way to ease public anger over the marital law and facilitate Yoon’s early exit from office. Lee told reporters that Yoon’s speech was “greatly disappointing” and that the only way forward is his immediate resignation or impeachment. His party called Yoon’s martial law “unconstitutional, illegal rebellion or coup.” Lawmakers on Saturday first voted on a bill appointing a special prosecutor to investigate stock price manipulation allegations surrounding Yoon’s wife. YOON ACCUSED OF ORDERING POLITICIANS’ ARRESTS On Friday, Han, the PPP chair who criticized Yoon’s martial law declaration, said he had received intelligence that, during the brief period of martial law, Yoon ordered the country’s defense counterintelligence commander to arrest unspecified key politicians based on accusations of “anti-state activities.” Hong Jang-won, first deputy director of South Korea’s spy agency, told lawmakers Friday that Yoon had ordered him to help the defense counterintelligence unit to detain key politicians, including the ruling party leader, the main opposition party leader and the speaker of the National Assembly. The Defense Ministry said Friday it suspended three military commanders, including the head of the defense counterintelligence unit, over their involvement in enforcing martial law. Vice Defense Minister Kim Seon Ho has told parliament that Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun ordered the deployment of troops to the National Assembly. Opposition parties accused Kim of recommending to Yoon to enforce martial law. Kim Yong Hyun resigned as defense minister Thursday, and prosecutors imposed an overseas travel ban on him.
